The Experience

This program's mainly focused on practicing speaking English and exchanging culture among local Koreans and also with volunteers from overseas. I believe that the best way to fully explore a certain country or a city is to actually bond and build a friendship with locals and that is what we locals here are excited to do!! We are trying to make an environment where everybody can join the conversation.

Personally, I really enjoyed this experience. This was mainly due to all the other volunteers and the locals I met. I really got the chance to get to know the Korean culture and shared many experiences with others. Do not expect a lot of input from management, you will mainly just be with the other volunteers and do your task at the language the coliving, but for me it didn't matter. I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend for others!

I genuinely had the best time and I absolutely recommend volunteering with the coliving. The schedule is clear and is given in advance. We all contribute to keeping the accommodation neat and clean. The volunteers were great and I had so much fun meeting them. I was even able to make friends with the locals. Overall just a great experience and the location was in a convenient area.

Volunteering at the coliving was such a great experience. Everyone is friendly, the other volunteers were really welcoming and we spent a lot of great moments together. The hours are very good and you get a lot of free time to explore the city. The apartment is big and the cleaning schedule makes everone participate in keeping it clean, though we can be up to 12 volunteers at the same time. And its location is unbeatable. I met so many interesting people and even extended my stay twice. I would definitely go back and I recommend it.

Volunteering at E-Lounge was a fun experience. I enjoyed meeting locals and other volunteers and the working hours meant there was lots of time to explore Seoul before work started.

The coliving was an amazing opportunity. I can't imagine my first volunteer gig going smoother. Irene (the manager) was super effective at communicating throughout the process. They are very understanding of the volunteers' needs and flexible in changing shifts when possible. This is also an ideal job if you are a night owl (the earliest shift doesn't start until 3PM). At first I wasn't sure how living with 11 roommates for 5 weeks would go, but honestly it was an awesome experience. I made so many new friends -- both world travelers and local Koreans alike. I would be very happy to return someday.
