The Experience

We need an outgoing, fun and friendly person to assist us at our hostel bar. Volunteer will mostly be a set of helping hands since we have employed full time bar staff. Volunteer will mostly assist with our events (providing support not hosting) such as beer pong, trivia night, ladies night etc. You will also be need to collect dishes and glasses. On some nights you may also be asked to hand out free drinks/ shots.

Volunteering at the hostel has been by far my favourite experience ever ! The staff was really welcoming and nice to me, I met so many amazing people during these 2 months. Of course, living and working in a hostel can be exhausting sometimes, but it's definitely worth it. The accomodation was good, the location safe and good too, and the activities you do as a volunteer are funny. I thank everyone for this amazing experience, and especially Phil and Ashton who gave me the chance to volunteer in Cape Town. That's not a goodbye, see you someday ☀️

I'm so grateful for my time volunteering at never @ home. The experience was incredible, and the people I met and worked alongside made it even more special. Everyone was welcoming, supportive, and inspiring, and I truly felt lucky to be part of it all. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to fully enjoy Cape Town and connect with amazing people from around the world!

My time at the hostel was super entertaining and gave me the time and space to meet amazing people and explore the beautiful city of Cape Town. I worked as a photographer, so my tasks were lined up before I arrived, and changes to the event plans were never a problem. I stayed in both hostels, and each has its own qualities. Just know that you'll have to enjoy every hour both places are really lively and located in busy areas, so the noise can make an impression on your stay. I'd definitely recommend this experience to anyone thinking about volunteering in Cape Town!

I loved my experience in cape town and at n@h. Especially the other volunteers were amazing and I got to meet so many great people. Most of the staff is welcoming (a few could be a bit nicer). The room isn't really like advertised one of the guest rooms but since you only share with one other volunteer its very chill. We did have a cockroach infestation in the beginning but as soon as I contacted Phil it was dealt with. The hours working in the bar were fair and it was a great opportunity to meet new people. Overall I would definitely recommend it to everyone looking for a fun and social place
