Shifts are usually scheduled in the morning, late afternoon, or evening, depending on hostel needs.
Exact hours will be confirmed once your role is offered.
You’ll have two days off per week, giving you plenty of time to rest, explore London, and enjoy the experience

Rules

Volunteers stay in shared single-sex dorms with other volunteers. The number of roommates varies by hostel and availability, usually 3–4 people per room.
The minimum stay is 30 days, and the maximum stay is 6 weeks.
If a volunteer wishes to leave earlier, we ask for at least one week’s notice.
Respect for others, teamwork, and keeping shared spaces clean are key parts of the experience.
