Program Details

Our proposal is simple: to create an environment where travelers from different cultures feel welcome, make friends, and leave with great stories.

As a volunteer, you will be part of the hostel's routine by supporting activities such as reception, breakfast preparation and organization, cleaning and organizing the common areas and rooms, in addition to small day-to-day operational tasks. We value attitude, responsibility, and willingness to learn.

More than helping with tasks, we expect you to be a positive presence for the community. We seek people who enjoy living with other cultures, have initiative to solve problems, communicate clearly, and are willing to collaborate as a team. Punctuality, commitment to shifts, and care for shared spaces are fundamental.

Our environment is relaxed, diverse, and inclusive. We welcome people from different nationalities, ages, identities, and life stories. Therefore, mutual respect is essential.

If you are seeking a genuine cultural exchange experience, want to meet people from all over the world and contribute to a welcoming environment in the heart of São Paulo, we would be happy to receive your application.
