The experience

4 shifts of 5 hours a week in either reception welcoming our guests, or taking shifts in the bar making a good atmosphere among the guests and volunteers. The 5th "shift" would be to host an activity, as we have daily activities all week long. The activities help us having more of a welcoming environment where the guests can connect. Your responsibilities also lay in maintaining a clean space, water our plants and communicate well with the team.
