Program Details

We are looking for an extroverted and enthusiastic volunteer to take charge at reception and create a weekly activity for guests.

We provide a shared room either in the dorms or at the nearby staff house (with A/C), access to the shared kitchen, and free workout classes at Néctar! Typically, there are two workout classes daily at Néctar: one more strenuous and the other a yoga class! All we ask is that volunteers help set up and clean up if they attend the workout class.

During your free time, you’ll have access to the amenities that Néctar has to offer — including a swimming pool, two jacuzzis, a terrace, coworking spaces, and tons of places to relax.

Estamos buscando un voluntario extrovertido y entusiasta para hacerse cargo de la recepción y crear una actividad semanal para los huéspedes.

Ofrecemos una habitación compartida en los dormitorios o en la casa del personal cercana (con aire), acceso a la cocina compartida y clases de entrenamiento gratis en Néctar! Por lo general, hay dos clases de entrenamiento diarias en Néctar: Una más extenuante y la otra una clase de yoga! Lo unico que pedimos es que los voluntarios ayuden a configurar y limpiar si asisten a la clase de entrenamiento.

Durante tu tiempo libre, tendrás acceso a las comodidades que Néctar ofrece, que incluyen una piscina, dos jacuzzis, una terraza, espacios de coworking y muchos lugares para relajarte.

Activities & Shift

What We Ask:

We ask our volunteers to be at reception for 3 shifts of 8 hours every week. A total of 24 hours of receptionist work per week. On days when there's no bartender present, the receptionist may be asked to serve beer and mezcal at the hotel bar. No prior bartender experience is needed.

Volunteers should have a friendly, outgoing attitude when interacting with guests. The most successful volunteers make an effort to remember guest’s names, ask them about their day, and assist with any inquiries. We will prioritize applicants with a friendly, optimistic demeanor.

We also ask volunteers to create one community-building experience per week for the guests. Volunteers can get creative and show off their unique talents and interests! Volunteers are responsible for the promotion of their planned event. This should take up about 2 hours of the volunteer’s time every week.

Lo que pedimos:

Los días que no hay bartender, se le puede pedir a la recepcionista que sirva cerveza y mezcal en el bar del hotel. No se necesita experiencia previa como bartender.

Los voluntarios deben tener una actitud amigable y extrovertida al interactuar con los huéspedes. Los voluntarios más exitosos hacen un esfuerzo para recordar los nombres de los huéspedes, preguntarles sobre su día y ayudar con cualquier consulta. Daremos prioridad a solicitantes con actitud amigable.

También pedimos a los voluntarios que gestionen una actividad por semana para crear communidad con los huespedes. ¡Los voluntarios pueden ser creativos y mostrar sus talentos e intereses únicos! Esto debería tomar 2 horas del tiempo del voluntario.
