We're looking for outgoing, energetic and creative travellers to help us build a fun, welcoming and social community at our hostel in Weligama.
As a Community & Events Host, you'll be one of the people bringing Happy Hippie to life! You'll help organise activities, host events, introduce guests to one another and create opportunities for people to connect.
Think game nights, karaoke, music sessions, movie nights, beach outings, sunset gatherings, group dinners and spontaneous adventures around Weligama.
We'd love someone who isn't afraid to approach strangers, initiate conversations and make people feel included. You'll also have the freedom to bring your own ideas, discover local experiences and create activities that travellers will remember.
Multiple volunteers can join this role, so you'll have the opportunity to work as a team and create something wonderful together.
We love a lively atmosphere, but we also care about our space. Helping set up, clean up after events, declutter and maintain the common areas is an important part of this role.
Welcoming guests, introducing travellers and helping everyone feel included.
- Organising regular activities such as game nights, karaoke, movie nights, music sessions and themed evenings.
- Planning group dinners, beach outings, sunset gatherings and spontaneous adventures.
- Coming up with creative ideas to keep the hostel social and lively.
- Exploring Weligama, discovering local experiences and sharing recommendations.
- Meeting travellers outside the hostel and inviting them to join our community.
- Coordinating with other volunteers and the team to organise activities.
- Helping set up and clean up after events, keeping the common spaces neat and welcoming.
Shifts & flexibility:
This is a flexible, social position. Activities will depend on guest occupancy and interest. We'd love to have something happening almost every other day, but it doesn't always have to be a big event!
Working hours and days off will be agreed upon in advance. We encourage initiative while keeping the team informed, especially when activities involve expenses or external arrangements.
Treat it like your home: Please look after the property and help us maintain a clean, hygienic and organised environment. You're not expected to replace our housekeeping team, but we appreciate everyone pitching in, cleaning up after themselves and flagging anything that needs attention.
Be respectful: Treat fellow volunteers, guests and the local team with kindness and consideration. Respect everyone's personal space and differences.
Be proactive and responsible: Take initiative, honour your agreed responsibilities, communicate openly and let the team know if something needs attention or if you need help.
Most importantly, have fun, meet lovely people and enjoy being part of the Happy Hippie family! 🌴
