We ask volunteers to commit to a minimum stay of two weeks. The exchange includes approximately 25 hours of help per week, usually five hours per day for five days, with two days off. We provide accommodation in the dorms, two meals per day, access to the communal kitchen and Wi-Fi. We value reliability, initiative, open communication and a positive attitude toward community living.
We begin with a short check-in to organize the day’s tasks. Shifts are usually scheduled in the morning when the weather is cooler, although times may occasionally change depending on operational needs and weather conditions. Activities may include watering, planting, pruning, weeding, composting, caring for indoor and outdoor plants, maintaining garden paths, sorting reusable materials and joining scheduled beach clean-ups. Tasks vary according to the season and the needs of the property. Any schedule changes will be communicated in advance whenever possible.
- Please respect our staff, guests, other volunteers, the local community and the natural environment.
- Be punctual, follow the agreed schedule and inform the coordinator as early as possible if you are unable to attend a shift.
- Harassment, discrimination, violence, theft or working under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be tolerated.
- Follow all safety instructions, use tools only after receiving guidance and immediately report any injury, damage or safety concern.
- Keep your accommodation and shared spaces clean and respect the property’s house rules and quiet hours.
- Meals and benefits are limited to those listed in the confirmed exchange. We do not provide discounts on additional food or drinks.
- Any personal tabs must be cleared weekly and fully settled before departure.
- Volunteers are responsible for securing their personal belongings and are strongly advised to have appropriate travel and health insurance.
- Serious misconduct, safety violations or repeated failure to follow the agreed responsibilities may result in the exchange being ended in accordance with Worldpackers’ policies. Whenever appropriate, concerns will first be discussed with the volunteer.
- We reserve the right to stop your volunteering at any point without any need of justification.
