The Experience

The social volunteer undertakes activities such as: hikes, games, quizzes, barbecue, cultural kitchen, talk, more hikes, fishing, sightseeing, coffee and cookies, waffle baking, music – all in the name of cultural exchange and bringing people together. But most important is perhaps the conversations during coffee and cookies in the afternoon. Please note we can only host volunteers from EU/Schengen (or people holding an EU/Schengen passport).

I would truly recommend this experience to anyone! I had a really great time meeting guests and the other volunteers. The schedule is flexible, so it is really up to you and the other volunteers on how you plan your time. Amarilis is great volunteer coordinator and made me feel incredibly welcome when I first arrived!

This programm of the hostel Norway is truly a gem. It's a great time for oneself but one is also actually creating a positive impact on the hostel. I stayed in both places, Bergen and Oslo. Together with the other volunteers you can decide which activities you want to do with the guests. It was always super fun, since you meet a lot of people and the spirit it the volunteer team was amazing. In Bergen you meet more people and therefore it's also more volunteers. I preferred that but I also loved my stay in Oslo. In both places you quickly become Friends with the staff and Amarilis is a great boss.

This was my first volunteering experience, and it was above my expectations! Everyone in the hostel is very welcoming and ready to help you. When you arrive, the previous volunteers explain to you everything you need to know to manage the activities. Thanks to this experience, every day you can meet many people from all around the world, discover the city, its museums and the nature which is so close! You can express your creativity, proposing activities for the guests and creating content for the Instagram account of the hostel. If you are new to this platform, come to the hostel!
