Program Details

We are looking for volunteers with a strong will to make things happen, and we are very open to new challenges and partnerships.

We have room to earn extra income for our volunteers through late check-ins, cleaning shifts, coverage of on-call staff, and external sales.


Activities & Shift

You will welcome guests, introduce the hostel, check the completion of the web check-in or direct them to the service kiosk, make last-minute reservations (walk-ins), check for pending payments, direct to WhatsApp, place meal orders: lunch and dinner with our partner restaurant and sales from our shop.


Rules

Our hostel is very quiet, so we do not allow drug use on our premises or in our condominium; we are not for or against it—everyone has their own choices.
