Program Details

Let’s talk quickly about how volunteering works here at Hostel Way 😄

It’s 5 hours and 30 minutes per day and 2 days off. If you land on the morning shift, you help with breakfast (depends on the week’s schedule), do the defined cleaning tasks and lend a hand at the reception. But hey, relax! You’ll never be alone, we’re always around, we won’t leave you hanging hahaha.


Rules

The Happy Volunteer Code:

1. Be punctual ⏰ – Your shift starts at the agreed time (6 hours per day)
2. Respect everyone 🙌 – Guests, staff and other volunteers. Kindness never goes out of fashion.
3. Communicate 📢 – Imprevistos, doubts or problems? Let us know before it becomes a confusion.
4. Be an example ✨ – You are a reflection of the Hostel. Maintain a professional posture, but without losing your lightness.
5. Treat it like your home 🏠 – With care and responsibility but remember: being at home is not synonymous with mess or laziness.
6. Take care of the space 🧹 – Organization and cleanliness keep the good energy of the hostel.
7. No disappearances 🕵️‍♂️ – If you need to leave or miss, inform in advance.
8. Outside the shift, enjoy with respect 🍻 – Have fun, but remember you live with other people.
9. Use common sense 🧠 – Before acting, think if you are helping or hindering.
10. Take care of yourself too 💆‍♂️ – Sleep well, eat right and keep energy for the next day.
Respect other people’s spaces 🚪 – Not everyone wants 24h company.
12. Share knowledge 📚 – If you learned something, teach it. If you know something, contribute.
13. Be flexible 🤸 – Plans change, keep a good sense of humor.

- Do not bring external visitors without prior authorization.
