Join as a Volunteer

Would you like to be more involved in the conference and contribute to its success?
We are looking for motivated volunteers to support the organising team before and during the event.

As a volunteer, you might help with tasks like:

• Welcoming participants and speakers

• Assisting with logistics, meals, and materials

• Supporting workshops and excursions

• Creating a great social atmosphere

Volunteers participate free of charge and will arrive one day before and stay one day after the conference.
You can still participate in most of the program, and it’s an excellent opportunity to gain experience, meet new people, and contribute to a meaningful event.

If you’re interested in volunteering, write to either UNF or juFORUM before your registration:

• UNF at: climate.coordinator25@unf.dk
• juFORUM at: copenhagen25@juforum.de
