Program Details

Shared House Cleaner

You will be asked to work 10 hours per week and pay $12 per night on a weekly basis for each week that you wish to stay. If you would rather work 20 hours per week and pay $0 per night, please apply to our other volunteer position. That position requires a minimum one month stay as well as a security deposit.

Activities & Shift

Most of the cleaning tasks will be on site where you are staying. The cleaning/working hours will generally be between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. seven days per week depending on bookings from short stay websites. We ask that you coordinate your 2 days off per week with other volunteers so that all 7 days of the week are covered. We prefer to have 2 volunteers here at all times that do not come together so that there are not gaps in the schedule when departing at the same time.

Shifts and hours
Each volunteer will work between 2-4 hours per day 5 days per week. Bed preparation for new arrivals must be completed between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m but other common area cleaning can be completed as or when needed. Most days cleaning tasks will take less than an hour per day but the person on schedule that day will be given credit for at least 2 hours (or more) regardless of how long it takes to complete the tasks as long as every scheduled task is done. If you are the only volunteer during a specific time during your stay, you will be able to pick your desired 5 work days for that week until the 2nd volunteer arrives. When there are two volunteers, you will be able to pick your desired work days every other week if both of you prefer to take the same days off during any given week unless you both agree to separate days off throughout each week so that all 7 days of the week are covered. If you end up renewing for a longer term and you need specific days of the week in order to work another job, we can probably work around your schedule. There may occasionally be work at other locations in San Juan. If so, we can help with transportation.
