This was my first experience volunteering, and Im glad I chose this one. I already knew the city so I felt really at home, is a nice place to meet a lot of new people and go out, also go to the museums and monuments. I only have one thing to complain and is as a woman I didn’t feel 100% safe. My females coworkers are amazing and I am so happy I met them, but some things made me feel like nobody is gonna stand up for us. A little more communication between everyone, including the host and all the coworkers would make this experience even better. But still, I had the best time of my life here.

Me llevo de esta experiencia un recuerdo maravilloso y muchos amigos que hice en el hostel!

I stayed at the U Street hostel for 6 weeks. Decided to extend my stay because I was having a such great experience. The owner are very friendly, the schedule is super chill, very minimal issues regarding safety but absolutely a great experience. The hostel is well located and the capsule give you a sense of personal space which is excellent for long term guests. Thank you Paul for the opportunity ❤️

Foi minha primeira experiência como voluntário e eu simplesmente adorei! A carga horária é muito de boa, consegui conhecer todos os pontos de Washington DC e região; tive total flexibilidade para alterar minha agenda e consegui dar um pulinho em NYC, e isso me deixou muito contente!
Espero voltar no futuro para outro voluntariado com a equipe do U Street Hostel que me acolheu tão bem!

The hostel was very organized and in a great location. Also the owners would always listen us and try to help.
The experience was very nice, and I could learn a lot and meet a lot people.
I recommend this place if you’re looking for something chill and quiet; But if you’re looking for a party hostel, this is not the place.
