Program Details

Hello and welcome!

We are a friendly and well-located hostel in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, and we are currently looking for responsible, positive, and motivated volunteers to join our team.

Our goal is simple: to create a warm, welcoming space where guests feel at home and where volunteers feel like part of the team.

Volunteer tasks may include:
• Assisting with check-ins and check-outs
• Reception support and guest communication
• Light housekeeping and room preparation
• Maintaining common areas
• Helping with social activities and guest interaction
• Creating promotional or social media content

We value reliability, good communication skills, and a proactive attitude. Previous hostel or hospitality experience is appreciated but not required.

Creative Opportunity:
We are also looking for a mural artist to help bring character and color to our hostel spaces. If you are applying for this role, please include a portfolio or examples of your previous work.

What we offer in exchange:
• Free accommodation and meals
• A welcoming, international atmosphere
• Flexible schedule (typically 4–5 hours per day, 5 days per week)
• A great base to explore Montenegro affordably and easily — from mountains and lakes to the Adriatic coast

Podgorica is one of the most affordable cities in the country and very well connected, making it an ideal starting point to discover Montenegro.

If you are enthusiastic, adaptable, and enjoy working in a social environment, we would love to hear from you.

• Cleaning rooms after guest check-out
• Preparing beds and ensuring rooms are ready for new arrivals
• Maintaining cleanliness of common areas

All tasks are shared within the team and rotate depending on daily needs.

Shifts:
Volunteers work approximately 4–5 hours per day, 5 days per week.
Shifts may vary between morning and afternoon/evening, depending on occupancy and operational requirements. The schedule is organized in advance to ensure fairness and balance.

We aim to maintain a supportive team environment where responsibilities are clear and communication is open.
