Our volunteer program is based on mutual respect, clear communication, and shared responsibility.
Before arrival, we will confirm the volunteer period, accommodation arrangement, work schedule, and main responsibilities with each volunteer.
On working days, volunteers usually help from around 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM, including a 30-minute meal and rest break. Actual working time is approximately 4 hours per day. The schedule will be arranged in advance so volunteers can plan their free time.
Daily tasks mainly include making beds, cleaning guest rooms and common areas, organizing shared spaces, and helping with other simple hostel-related tasks when needed. We will explain and demonstrate the tasks when you arrive, so previous hostel experience is not required.
Accommodation is provided in a shared mixed dormitory staff room. During busy periods, volunteers may occasionally be asked to change beds or rooms depending on availability.
Lunch is provided on working days.
On arrival, we will give you an introduction to the hostel, explain the daily routine, show you how to complete each task, and go through the house rules together.
We expect volunteers to be responsible, punctual, respectful of guests and other team members, and willing to help keep the shared living environment clean and comfortable.
At the same time, we respect volunteers’ free time. Once the daily tasks are completed, you are free to explore Tainan, meet other travelers, or enjoy your own activities.
If there are any questions, difficulties, or changes during the stay, we encourage open communication so we can solve them together.
olunteers usually work around 4 hours per day, generally from 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM, including a 30-minute meal and rest break.
Shifts are arranged in advance, and we try to keep the schedule clear so volunteers can plan their free time and travel around Tainan.
The main activities include making beds, cleaning guest rooms and common areas, organizing shared spaces, and helping with simple daily hostel tasks.
Days off are arranged according to the weekly schedule and hostel occupancy. We try to give volunteers enough free time to explore the city, visit local attractions, enjoy Tainan’s food and cafés, or simply relax.
From time to time, there may also be optional social activities, such as having meals together, exploring local neighborhoods, or joining casual outings with other volunteers and staff. These activities are not mandatory and depend on everyone’s availability.
We believe the volunteer experience should include both helping at the hostel and having enough time to enjoy life in Tainan.
To keep the hostel comfortable and enjoyable for everyone, we ask volunteers to follow a few simple house rules.
Please be respectful of guests, other volunteers, and staff, and help keep shared spaces clean and tidy.
Volunteers are expected to arrive on time for their shifts and let us know in advance if there is any problem with the schedule.
Smoking is not allowed inside the hostel. Please use the designated outdoor smoking area.
Food and drinks should only be consumed in the common area on the first floor. In guest rooms and upper floors, only water is allowed.
Please keep noise to a minimum after 10:00 PM so everyone can rest comfortably.
As volunteers stay in shared accommodation, please respect other people’s belongings, personal space, and sleeping time.
Please do not invite outside visitors into staff or guest areas without permission.
If anything is damaged, lost, or if you experience any problem during your stay, please let us know as soon as possible.
Most importantly, we value open communication, respect, and responsibility. If something is unclear or uncomfortable, please talk to us directly so we can find a solution together.
