Program Details
Let's quickly talk about how volunteering works here at Hostel Way 😄
It's 5 hours and 30 minutes per day and 2 days off. If you fall 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're never going to be alone, we're always around, we won't leave you hanging haha.
Rules
Code of the Happy Volunteer:
1. Be punctual ⏰ – Your shift starts at the agreed time (6h per day).
2. Respect everyone 🙌 – Guests, staff and other volunteers. Kindness never goes out of style.
3. Communicate 📢 – If something comes up, questions or problems? Let us know before it becomes a confusion.
4. Be a role model✨ – You are a reflection of the Hostel. Maintain a professional posture, but without losing the lightness.
5. Treat it as your home 🏠 – With care and responsibility but remember: being at home is not a synonym of mess or time off.
6. Take care of the space 🧹 – Organization and cleanliness keep the good energy of the hostel.
7. No disappearance 🕵️♂️ – If you need to leave or miss a shift, inform in advance.
8. Outside your 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 maintain energy for the next day.
Respect others' spaces 🚪 – Not everyone wants 24h company.
12. Share knowledge 📚 – If you learned something, teach. If you know something, contribute.
13. Be flexible 🤸 – Plans change, keep a good sense of humor.
