Program Details
Help us paint and decorate wall spaces at The Banana Tree Hostel and The Coop by Chookie's. You’ll assist with sketching designs, preparing surfaces, and painting murals that match our tropical, social vibe. We’ll guide the creative direction together, so everything fits our brand style. A great role for artists who love teamwork and hands-on creative projects!
Activities & Shift
This is a creative, project-based role rather than a fixed daily routine. You’ll work on designing and painting murals or decorations in our restaurant and hostel areas. The schedule is flexible — some days may be focused on sketching or planning, others on painting. We’ll set goals together and give you the time and space you need to complete your work at a comfortable pace.
You’ll usually work around 4–5 hours a day, depending on your progress and the project size, with plenty of time to relax and explore Ninh Binh.
Rules
All general hostel rules apply to volunteers. We ask everyone to be respectful with our staff, guests, and shared spaces. This is a fun, social place, and we love when volunteers bring good energy and teamwork to the atmosphere!
