Program Details

Our hostel is located in a top location in Cape Town which has also recently been voted the coolest street in the world by Time Out Magazine.

We usually have 2 or more volunteers at the same time - so the role is super social. A lot of our activities are also joint with our sister hostel which is also in Cape Town. So the volunteers all tend to get to know each other well and socialise during hostel activities and during their free time.

Occasionally our volunteers also assist our Travel Manager with a couple of tours which currently include a Cape Point Tour (think amazing views along one of the most scenic drives in the world and meeting cute penguins) and our Stellenbosch Wine Tour.

When activities, tours and events are cancelled - volunteers may be asked to assist in other departments such as reception or with small projects for social media.

Activities & Shift

Our volunteers assist us generally for 5 hours a day (although on some days it is much less and others a little more), 5 days a week in exchange for free accommodation sharing with one other volunteer in a room, a food voucher and of course a great experience.

Rules

Our hostel is known for its excellent "professional yet fun" service. Therefore, we would expect our volunteers to act in a professional manner with our guests, while providing a friendly and fun atmosphere.
