Program Details

🕗 We have two shifts:

1. Morning shift, from 7:30am to about 12:00pm (sometimes you may finish earlier!)
- Preparing breakfast, tiding the kitchen afterwards
- Make beds and check that we have all locker's keys
It is a bit physical demanding and active. Listen some good music and everything will flow smoothly!

2. Afternoon shift, from 4:00pm to 8:00pm:
- Tiding common areas (sofas, toiltes)
- Take the trash out to the steet bins
- Help with reception tasks / check-ins and help the guests.
- Send WhatsApp messages to the guests arriving next day.

Activities & Shift

A part of the volunteering experience, one of your weekly tasks will be to help create a fun and social atmosphere in the hostel by organizing a small activity for the guests. This could be something simple like a shared dinner, a sunset, aperitivo, a games night or inviting guests to join one to of many cultural events happening around the city.

Rules

(!) It's important that guests party only in the party room downstairs, not in the kitchen area.
- We want to prevent any issues with our guests :)
🚭 Smoking is only allowed on the street
