Detalhes

We pride ourselves on the sense of community that we have built here, attracting wonderful volunteers and travellers from all over the world. As such, we do not just look for people who are willing to work, but also for people who will nurture the energy that acts as the heart and soul of the hostel. We called our hostel "Mi Casa Es Tu Casa" because we wanted to create the sense that this is a home for everyone who stays here.
The position will be a mix of independent work and co-operating with other volunteers/staff, so you will need to work well with others, have a strong sense of initiative, and possess good communication skills.
As with most hostel positions, volunteers are required to help with basic cleaning, bed turnover, laundry, and check-in duties. But you will also have the opportunity to engage in a range of other interesting & fulfilling tasks, such as; looking after our large garden, caring for our resident dogs & cat, running the outdoor bar, undertaking creative projects, organising activities, and many more.
However - just like our extensive garden - volunteer duties will change with the seasons, so make sure to ask what is required during the time you intend to stay with us!

In return, you will have free accommodation in our beautiful Italian-style villa with a wrap-around garden in the heart of Shkodra with easy access to the lake and many nearby attractions, free use of hostel bikes, and a place in our warm and caring community - Mi Casa Es Tu Casa!
