Program Description 🌙
Join our team in Porto and help us keep the good vibes flowing at night! We’re a friendly, international hostel where travelers from all over the world come together.
As a volunteer, you’ll mainly help with night reception tasks, ensuring everything runs smoothly while guests rest or enjoy the city nightlife. You’ll also give a hand with light cleaning, preparing breakfast setup, and sometimes with our bar/pubcrawl events or karaoke nights 🎉.
The schedule is around 24 hours per week, usually spread over 3 shifts, with days off. Sometimes we group hours so you can get longer breaks to travel or explore Portugal.
In exchange, we offer you free accommodation, breakfast, and the chance to meet amazing people every day. Porto is an incredible city full of culture, food, and music — and during your stay, it will feel like home. 💙
