Dettagli del programma

We are looking for a skilled and hands-on Maintenance Assistant to help maintain our hostel’s facilities. Your role will involve small repairs, basic maintenance, and ensuring that everything stays in good working order for our guests. You'll be an essential part of keeping our hostel safe, welcoming, and comfortable!

We are not a party hostel — it’s a chill, social place where guests and volunteers can connect, share stories, and relax. You’re welcome to go out and explore Cancún’s nightlife, but inside the hostel we keep a calm, friendly vibe.

You’ll join a welcoming international crew and stay in a shared volunteer dorm just a 3-minute walk from the hostel. We provide free accommodation, breakfast, access to our kitchen and common areas, and an inspiring environment to learn, grow, and enjoy the Caribbean lifestyle.
