Program Details
The Almar Hostel is opening in Ubatuba, on the coast of São Paulo, with the aim of connecting travelers, sharing experiences and creating a welcoming environment where everyone can feel at home.
We are looking for volunteers who want to be part of this construction and contribute to the development of our project. In this role, you will assist with reception, cleaning and organizing the hostel, helping to keep the spaces clean, organized and pleasant, as well as supporting guest services and providing information about the space and the region.
More than helping with the hostel's daily routine, we want to build an environment of cultural exchange, collaboration and respect, where every person can share their experiences, get to know new cultures and be part of Almar's story.
If you are a responsible, organized, communicative person and enjoy meeting new people, you will be very welcome to join this experience with us!
Come be part of the beginning of Almar and help turn this dream into reality!
