Program Details

We are looking for responsible and proactive volunteers who do their best during their shift.
Even if the job is sometimes dirty or tiring, we value hard-working, honest, and reliable people.
If other teammates report lazy or tricky behavior, we may need to end the stay early — teamwork and attitude are very important here.

We welcome couples, but please note: since most of our guests are Korean and of various ages, public displays of affection are not allowed in the hostel.

We don’t organize regular parties or volunteer-only activities, but you will have plenty of quiet time to relax, explore, or enjoy the beach nearby.
