The experience of being a volunteer was amazing with guests and others volunteers, but the owners and managers have difficulty to respect and treat the volunteers well, you have afraid to them kick you out all the time if you don't be exactly who they want, one of the managers invited me to have a date with him and I didn't accept so they kick me out before my ending contract saying that I have bad energy… so if you want have this experience try to find another company 😊

I had a great time at ITH. the people here are all so welcoming and it was easy to quickly feel like a part of the family. I had a blast, met some really cool people (staff & guests), ate some delicious meals and the best part was the location being right in downtown so getting around without a car was not hard. I'll definitely be back to visit!!
