Become a Volunteer<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

MCAF has grown considerably and the festival now requires the help of around 200 volunteers to ensure smooth operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteers like Fatima Gabriela who was asked why she liked to get involved in the festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c For me, it\u2019s the opportunity to introduce the extraordinary and magical universe of comics, especially to younger readers. I love the look in their eyes when I tell them this artist or that cartoonist will be signing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you too would like to get involved, there is still time to sign up as a volunteer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to volunteer<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
