Activities & Shift

Shifts and roles are changed according to the needs of the inn's reception, with the worldpacker able to volunteer in the morning or in the afternoon.

Our reception operates from 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM, therefore we expect the volunteer to be willing to have their workload adjusted. We respect the volunteer's limit of 5 hours per day.


Rules

Vale do Céu is a space of peace, connection and respect. We hope our volunteers are aligned with what we believe. Our rules of coexistence are simple:

* Equality and Attention: Live empathy in daily life. Attend to and welcome everyone with the same care and attention, ensuring an inclusive environment where everyone feels equally special.

* Culture of Respect: Adverse situations can happen, but respect for the team and fellow volunteers must remain non-negotiable.

* Care for the Space: The inn is our shared home. Be proactive with cleaning and organization. If you used it, clean; if it got messy, organize. Take care of the shared space with care.

* Good Energy and Identification: Always be open to interacting with kindness. The use of the indicated uniform is mandatory during activities, reflecting the professionalism and care of our team.

* Connection with Nature: Be ready to love and preserve the lush nature that surrounds us. Protecting the local fauna and flora is our daily mission.
