Program Details

Besides working as a team, sharing tasks, knowledge and experiences, you will become part of a small family. We look for responsible, open, kind, sociable people with a desire to share our energy, connect with others and fully enjoy the experience. At the same time, we also learn from their cultures, experiences, languages and ways of seeing the world. We love that each person who arrives leaves their mark and takes a little piece of Cali with them. Our volunteer program is designed so that, with seven people, we can cover all shifts in light and varied schedules, so they can enjoy the city, their life, their culture and their energy.


Activities & Shift

We are looking for 7 volunteers to assist at the reception and 1 volunteer to assist as a bartender.
Reception volunteers will help with guest service, check-in and check-out, answer questions, give recommendations about Cali and keep the hostel running smoothly. There are 3 shifts of 8 hours, spread over 3 days a week (4 days off). The bartender will be responsible for preparing simple drinks, attending to guests, socializing with them and helping to create a pleasant and lively atmosphere in the bar area. Their shifts will be 5 hours, 5 days a week (2 days off). It is a good opportunity to practice languages, meet travelers from around the world and share experiences.The distribution of shifts is designed so that the volunteers' experience is as complete as that of the guests themselves.
Cultural exchange is part of the experience. Volunteers will be able to share experiences, recommendations and knowledge, practice Spanish, learn to dance salsa, learn more about Colombian culture and share with travelers from around the world and with our local team. Some of the benefits are: free participation in group salsa classes, enjoy discounts on private classes, access to different city tours and get discounts on nighttime activities.
