Our San Jose tryouts will take place on January 25 from 3:30 PM - 5:30 PM PST at Guildhouse, San Jose. **Masks will be required for the duration of the tryouts.**
Here are the basic requirements for volunteering for Fanimaid Cafe:
1. You must identify as female. We understand that this label is imperfect and doesn’t encompass everyone, so feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. We are strictly a maid-only cafe, no butlers.
2. Be 18 years of age by FanimeCon. We will be doing ID checks.
3. Provide your own housing, transportation, and approved uniform.
4. Willingness to dedicate at least ~4 hours pre-con for training and ~10 hours at con. Maids are required to do one shift on Saturday and one shift on Sunday.
Being a Fanimaid is an unpaid volunteer role, not a compensated job. As a thank you, all Fanimaid volunteers will receive a free full weekend badge and discounted staff hotel rates.
