The Experience

We need a helper that is nor afraid to make their hands dirty :P Changing sheets, cleaning the rooms, cleaning the floors... etc, should be someone who can do these things exactly and independently. On the week day you might get it easier since our hostel is busier on the weekends and holidays, also you can meet both foreigner and locals here.

I had a very good month volunteering here! Everyone was very welcoming and kind, which made the experience enjoyable right from the start. The hostel is very well located—right next to Taipei 101, perfect for exploring the city easily. This volunteer work allowed me to get to know Taipei and the local culture better; the tasks were well organized and left plenty of time to enjoy the city :) A wonderful experience that I wholeheartedly recommend. Many thanks again to Karen and the whole team 😊🫶🏻

It was a great experience working at Formosa 101. The staff where friendly and accommodating. They did not ask more of me than what was agreed on before hand and were willing to let me stay a couple days more than what was originally planed. The location is great with a night market right across the street and walking distance to Taipei101 and a great hiking trail up to Elephant Mountain.

Hi there! Have been staying at Formosa 101 main branch for about 1 month. I loved the experience! The people are great(!!!), the hostel is lovely (the location is very good too!) and Taipei is just a fun city to explore! Definitely a recommendation and definitely considering going back to Taipei one day 😜

She was extremely accommodating and understanding of my needs and made volunteering much easier. The children can be a bit too much but they're good kids.

This was my second time volunteering with Formosa 101! The staff is very friendly and kind, and the work is not difficult. The Xinyi location is great because it is near many shops, and the morning fruit/vegetable market is just outside! Also great space for digital nomads to work on the computer and make friends with guests. In all, I love working with Formosa 101 and will volunteer again with them in the future!
