Program Details
At Once Once Hostel, we aim to create a welcoming atmosphere where travelers and volunteers feel at home. Our volunteer program is based on respect, teamwork, and cultural exchange. We want our volunteers to get to know Villa de Leyva, interact with people from different countries, and have an enriching experience while supporting the hostel's daily activities.
Activities & Shift
Activities can include guest service, front desk support, cleaning and organizing rooms and common areas, preparing spaces for new guests, occasional help in the café, and, if the volunteer has experience, support in social media or photography.
Rules
We expect responsible, respectful people with good personal presentation, punctuality, and a positive attitude. It is important to take care of the facilities and maintain good coexistence with guests, the work team, and other volunteers. Excessive alcohol consumption or any behavior that affects the hostel's atmosphere is not permitted during work shifts. Communication and mutual respect are fundamental.
