Program Details

You are a curious person who is confident with other humans. You like creating an inviting and dynamic space, and details like lighting, music and ambience are important to you. You are aware that working at the hostel requires being reliable with your time and generous with your energy. Your fellow team members will become your good friends, and together you will explore new ideas, learn new skills and make friends for life. Every day is an opportunity for you to make new connections, discover new perspectives, and of course improve your Spanglish. We will also provide you with training on mixology in general and on how to create cocktails that reflect your idea.


The hostel is also a canvas for your ideas. Perhaps you will realize a talent you are already aware of, or perhaps you will discover a talent you didn't know existed. Striving to be a better person than you were yesterday is essential.
