My two month stay at HighRoad was awesome! I felt welcomed the moment I arrived; the owner and management team are super friendly and kind people. There was a really nice group of volunteers that I got to work and live with, which definitely made this such a special experience for me. I appreciated the cozy environment in the hostel, and the fact that there is a separate common living space for volunteers. The hostel is located in a great spot close to downtown DC, major attractions, parks, and nature, which I loved and enjoyed.
I'm truly grateful for my time at HighRoad! Highly recommend it.

This was my first time staying in a hostel and I was treated very well! Before starting, you have a complete training to learn about your activities. We have a Team Schedule, you need work 3 days (8 hour per day) and 4 free days, you have time for enjoying the city or travel around here. The managers are the best person and help you in everything :) I improve my english every day because the job you need speak all the day. About the food, we have a market replacement every week. I am very grateful with this experience and I highly suggest it to everyone.

It was the best place to live the experience. Andrew, Jess, Hal and Julia are wonderful people, always willing to answer your questions and help you. The place is fabulous, the spaces are spacious and it is everyone's job to collaborate so that our common areas are clean and comfortable. The work is sensational, you connect with many people from all over the world who visit DC. Thank you very much to the entire team, I carry you in my heart.
