Program Details

We are in a moment of reconstruction and a return to activities. Therefore, we are seeking volunteers willing to collaborate with this moment, helping with the house’s daily routine, including organization, reception, kitchen, cleaning and maintenance of the spaces’ daily routines. We believe in collective construction and value initiative, responsibility, autonomy, and the willingness to learn and share knowledge.


Activities & Shift

Activities span all areas and services offered at the house, involving the different needs of accommodation, including cleaning and organizing the spaces, breakfast preparation, check-in, check-out, maintenance, and other tasks necessary for the operation of the space.

Collaboration lasts 8 hours on the scheduled days, split between the morning and evening shifts, with the afternoons free. We work with an alternating schedule, where the days of collaboration are interspersed with days off. Thus, depending on the distribution of the schedule, volunteers will have between 3 and 4 days off per week.

Activities are organized in a rotating system, according to the needs of the house and the role of each volunteer, allowing everyone to participate in the daily routine and contribute to keeping the space functional, welcoming, and organized.


Rules

Respect is our basic and essential rule for maintaining good relationships with everyone who moves through this space; we have a manual of good practices that is given on arrival, with basic instructions for using the space, and it is very important that it be followed.
