Détails du programme

We’re looking for practical, reliable, and motivated volunteers who don’t mind getting their hands a little dirty. If you enjoy light physical work, fixing things, and seeing your efforts make a visible difference, this is the role for you!

We are not a party hostel — it’s a chill, social place where guests and volunteers can relax, connect, and enjoy the atmosphere. You can go out to party if you like, but inside the hostel we keep things peaceful and welcoming.

You’ll be part of a warm, international team and stay in a shared volunteer dorm just a 3-minute walk from the hostel. We offer free accommodation, breakfast, access to our kitchen and common areas, and an easygoing environment to learn, connect, and enjoy the Caribbean lifestyle.
