Program Details

Our volunteer program at Casa Satoshi is unlike others. When you are a volunteer with us, you are home. Our goal is to create a truly enriching experience for both guests and volunteers, and we do this by encouraging our volunteers to bring their unique skills, talents, and capabilities. Whether you are a yoga instructor, a dance teacher, a tarot card reader, a massage therapist, or if you just enjoy creating group events, we have space specifically for you! Whatever your talents, we encourage you to lean into them at Casa Satoshi to help us make this hostel a home for our visitors - and yourself.

Volunteering is an exchange: we want to make your stay memorable, offer you opportunities to create bonds, and to take something meaningful with you when you go. Expect us to invite you to volunteers dinners, to offer you to learn new skills (if you want to!), and to show our gratitude for your presence. All this AND breakfast included!

Activities & Shift

There are 4 shifts per day : morning from 7:30 am to 11:30 am, midday from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm, afternoon from 3:30 pm to 7:30 pm, and evening from 7:30 pm to 11:30 pm. The schedule is co-constructed and changes every week.
You will be mostly helping with reception, checking guests in and out and helping them with any question they may have (tours, suggestions, etc). There is a bit of housekeeping involved in order to keep the hostel always nice and tidy (although we have someone taking care of the deeper cleaning)! Morning shift has the responsibility of setting up the breakfast, but you don't need any cooking skills ;)

Rules :
1. Transparency and honesty
2. No hard drugs allowed in and around the hostel
3. Be sober while on shift
4. Shirt on while on shift : no bare chests or sports bra
5. Have fun and be respectful!
