Furry Migration is always looking for smart and motivated community members to help us continue to grow and improve.
Furry Migration staff are responsible for planning, organizing, and executing specific ideas and events for the convention. They often have specific skills relevant to their roles, and continue to work hard during the off months to prepare for the coming year(s). Staff are expected to attend meetings, be knowledgeable about convention policies, and be accountable for convention assets. It’s critical for you to work well with others and excel at communication.
As Furry Migration is a subsidiary of Minnesota Furs which is a 501(c)3 organization, every Furry Migration staff member is an unpaid volunteer. Thank you for giving back to your community!
Even if you don’t see anything you want from the list below fill out the Staff Application and we will find something for you!
Furry Migration is seeking a Division Lead to join our convention leadership team.
Division Leads serve as an important connection between convention leadership and the individual departments responsible for organizing and operating Furry Migration. Each Division Lead oversees a collection of approximately 6–8 departments, generally grouped by similar operational objectives, such as Internal Operations, Services, Entertainment, Revenue, or Communications.
Division Lead delegation to departments are determined during a Division Lead meeting to decide who is best for which departments/roles/silos.
The primary responsibility of a Division Lead is to maintain awareness of departmental activities, support department leadership, and ensure progress toward convention-wide objectives and deadlines.
Division Leads are not expected to micromanage departments or dictate how individual departments conduct their operations. Instead, they serve as mentors, advocates, facilitators, and points of escalation when additional support or coordination is needed.
Furry Migration believes that departments function best when their leadership is empowered to make decisions within their areas of responsibility.
A Division Lead's role is not to run the departments beneath them, but to help those departments succeed. Successful Division Leads understand when to provide guidance, when to facilitate a conversation, when to escalate a concern, and when to allow a Department Head to independently manage their responsibilities.
Division Leads should foster a collaborative environment built on mutual respect, transparency, accountability, and trust.
Furry Migration is seeking a volunteer Web Application Developer to help design, develop, and maintain an interactive, web-based experience for Furry Migration 2027.
This is a volunteer, unpaid position. But all work may be used on a portfolio, resume, etc. This project upon completion will be AGPL-3.0, and may be used elsewhere with other conventions. Furry Migration logos and assets: Reserved to Minnesota Furs, subject to its ownership arrangements.
This dedicated application will serve as an attendee-facing gamification experience, bringing our 2027 MMORPG-inspired theme to life through interactive features, activities, and engagement throughout the convention. We're looking for someone passionate about web development, collaborative problem-solving, and creating memorable experiences for our attendees.
This is a collaborative development position, not a solo project. The selected developer will work alongside at least one/two other developers and collaborate closely with the Theme Department to translate creative concepts, branding, and gameplay ideas into a functional, engaging web application.
The developer will work with another developer to divide responsibilities, coordinate technical decisions, and ensure the application can be maintained by more than one individual. The Theme Department will provide creative direction, branding, and input on the attendee experience, while the development team will be responsible for determining practical technical implementations.
These are preferred but not required. Since this is a volunteer position, we're happy with people using this as a learning experience.
Above all, we're looking for someone who enjoys building things with others.
You don't need to know every technology listed above, and you don't need professional game development experience. A solid understanding of web application development, a willingness to learn, and the ability to collaborate are far more important.
This is an opportunity to help create something unique for Furry Migration 2027, contribute to a community-driven project, and see thousands of attendees interact with something you've helped build.
