Program Details

Help primarily consists of check-ins, check-outs, keeping the hostel tidy, as well as general guest expectations management.

Activities & Shift

With most check-outs in the morning, and check-ins in the late afternoon, while keeping an eye on reservations, there will be plenty of time left to socialize, enjoy the fiber optic internet, reading, hiking the stunning Debed Canyon trail, and of course socializing! We also run a cafe and an international library, so if you can help with those we would be very interested to talk.

Rules

- No feeding stray animals, or attracting them to the hostel or cafe. This is grounds for immediately asking you to leave.

- No inviting non-paying guests to the hostel to hang out. You can hang out with non-guests anywhere in town, but the hostel is only for paying guests and volunteers.
