Program Details

Our volunteer programme is designed to integrate you into the daily life of our hostel, helping us provide a fantastic experience for our guests. It's a hands-on opportunity where you'll be a key part of our small, friendly team.


We believe in a collaborative environment. You will have the chance to try out all the different tasks to see what you enjoy most. We're happy to talk with you about specializing in a particular area, whether it's cooking, cleaning, or general guest hospitality. You won't be on your own; we currently have three other volunteers, and we make sure there is always enough support from local staff or ourselves to help with everything.

Activities & Shift

A typical day begins with the morning rush, where we all work together to serve breakfast and coffee to our guests from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM. This is also our busiest time, as we handle check-outs and payments. Once the morning quietens down, the focus shifts to preparing for new arrivals by cleaning the rooms. This usually starts around 11:00 AM.

Beyond the daily routine, you'll also get to participate in special activities, such as our family dinners. Every second night, we cook a meal for our guests, and your help with setting the table and serving is greatly appreciated. We are also excited about a new venture: a poke bowl restaurant operating from our hostel. While my wife and I currently handle this, it's a new area where a motivated volunteer could get involved.

All in all, you will work 5/6 hours per day, leavinglots of time to explore the lovely city of Dalat or do nomad work, or keep up your gym routine.

Rules

### Our Rules & Expectations

We're looking for a kind and proactive volunteer to join our team. Our core expectation is simple: treat our guests with kindness and put customer service first. A positive attitude and an open mind are the most important qualities we look for.

We also expect you to:

* **Be Proactive:** Keep an eye on things and help us keep items stocked and organized without being asked.
* **Communicate Openly:** We value your ideas and opinions. We believe that everything can be resolved through good, open conversation, so please feel free to share your thoughts with us.
* **Be Part of the Family:** We're a small, close-knit team. This means we all clean up after ourselves and help out after meals, just like a family would.
