We’re looking for a Social Host who naturally notices when a new guest walks into the common areas and makes them feel welcome. Your role is to be present, aware, and proactive: approach guests, introduce them to others, and help them feel part of the Yak community. You’ll invite guests to our daily activities, explain what’s happening at the hostel, share information about tours, and actively promote the experiences we offer.

Volunteering at The Yak was an amazing and meaningful experience. I learned a lot, improved my English by speaking with travelers every day, enjoyed several sailing tours, and swam in the beautiful Bacalar lagoon every day.
Javi and Joselyn, the Activities Team Leaders, are amazing people, and the bond between volunteers and staff makes the experience even more special. I made great friends, created unforgettable memories, and grew a lot as a person. The Yak definitely left a mark on my life!

One of the best experiences of my life! Bacalar is beautiful, and I met amazing people from all over the world. Joss and Javi were always kind and supportive. The activities are fun and tourist-oriented, so a good level of English is helpful. The food and accommodation were good, and there is always something to do at night. I would definitely volunteer here again :)

If you want to travel, be in touch with nature, get new friends and relax from your routine this is your place. Volunteering at the hostel was an outstanding experience. I highly recommend it.

I've done a couple volunteerings now and I can say that the hostel is the best hostel I've ever been. Doing your "work" is fun, as its just the daily activities. Bacalar is a beautiful place, my favorite in Mexico, as a Mexican. There is nothing like Bacalar's lagoon, is like therapy to swim in it or in the cenotes around the lagoon. The only bad thing about the volunteering is the staff house, which is dirty most of time. I spent months here, and the staff started being like a second family for me, it was sad to leave. I also met many travelers and improved my english. I had so much fun:)
