Volunteers can also lead activities, such as Beer Pong or Sunset Walking Tour.

We're looking for outgoing, friendly folks who want to be proud of their temporary 'home' , show our guests a great time and help keep our hostel looking it's finest. In exchange, we provide a perfect location to explore the city, a welcoming atmosphere and are always open to new activity and improvement ideas.
There are 5-hour morning, afternoon and evening shifts with duties involving doing laundry, cleaning bathrooms, common rooms, the kitchen and rooms. For the right person, we'll also train them for reception duties which include making reservations, checking guests in and handling cash. Reception shifts vary from 5 to 8 hours but not more than 25 weekly hours. There is an overnight shift that all receptionists must do once in awhile.
We believe hostels are a place of inclusion and expect all our team members to be open minded, accepting and curious about others and the world. We expect the respect we give to our team and our guests is reciprocated. We like to laugh at ourselves and weird, wonderful world of hostels and like staff with a sense of humor who can roll with hostel life.
We are a no smoking/vaping facility (by law). While we expect our team to enjoy their time in San Diego, it is necessary team members be sober and fit to work. No use of 'substances' is allowed while on shift.
We don't tolerate abusive, racist or misogynist behavior by guests or team members. Everyone who is a guest or a team member here should feel comfortable to be who they are.
Team members share a dorm and we do expect they keep their living space tolerably clean.
We require volunteers to be vaccinated or plan to be.
Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
