TEAM ART

At ChangeNOW, art goes beyond aesthetics. It is a vector of emotion and a lever to tell the story of ecological urgency differently.

By joining the ART team, you can become the messenger of a work by conveying the artist’s message to visitors, or help install these immersive creations backstage at the Grand Palais.

This team is ideal for curious minds, sensitive to the artistic world, and comfortable with an international audience.




TEAM SPEAKER

At ChangeNOW, the conferences bring together speakers from all over the world to share their visions, commitments, and solutions.

As a volunteer on the SPEAKER team, you will be at the heart of this excitement.

Your mission? Welcome, guide, and assist the speakers backstage before their presentations, ensure their smooth entry into the conference rooms, and make sure they have all the necessary information and are in the right place at the right time.

This team is perfect for organized, friendly people who are comfortable in a multicultural environment.

TEAM LEX

At ChangeNOW, Learning Expeditions (LEX) are themed guided tours that allow partners to explore the summit through personalized routes linked to key issues like energy, agriculture, or oceans.

As a LEX volunteer, you will have the opportunity to guide groups of participants through the Grand Palais, connecting them with solutions and experts.

This mission is ideal for those comfortable speaking in public and able to manage a small group with ease and autonomy.



TEAM FLITRAGE

The Filtrage team is essential to ensure smooth movement at the Grand Palais and to guide visitors with a smile.

Positioned at strategic points (entrances, reserved areas, conference spaces), your mission is to check badges, direct the public, and enforce access rules.

This is a simple but crucial task, perfect for those who want to contribute to a large-scale event without heavy responsibilities. The team is close-knit and supportive, making it ideal if you have limited availability.

Even a short shift will greatly help us.

I had the greatest experience of my life. I am an Environmentalist, and this event brings together not only companies and investors, but also people's mentality. I would love to come back as soon as possible. Thank you very much.


Tanay, Team Reception, ChangeNOW 2025


Thank you so much for your kindness, patience, and tolerance. I felt really comfortable and supported and was able to really enjoy these two days.






Annaïck, Team Pitch, ChangeNOW 2025


Wonderful people, helping each other, taking their position seriously and at the same time making the environment light and fun. The heads of team always took the time to stop and answer questions. Best group one could ever ask !

Gloria, Team Int Delegations, ChangeNOW 2025


The humility of the team truly feels good. The intergenerational bond between volunteers was really strong. We share the same values, and that feels good too!"

Form to apply

Each mission requires different availabilities, skills, and motivations. The information you provide us with during your registration will help us match you with your future missions.

Volunteers can choose the team or teams that interest them the most. Each team includes different types of missions that require specific needs. Missions will be assigned based on the volunteer’s profile so that everyone can have an experience that suits them.

No – ChangeNOW does not cover these expenses. However, the Grand Palais is easily accessible by public transport.

Most volunteer roles are accessible with basic French or English. Some specific missions (such as welcoming international delegations or leading Learning Expeditions) may require other languages — all profiles are welcome!

Yes! You’ll receive a 3-day badge, and we make sure to include breaks so you can attend talks and explore the summit under the best conditions.
