Description
WANT TO HELP IN PARADISE?
We are looking for volunteers to join our Family!
We´re one of Sri Lanka’s most sociable hostels made by backpackers for backpackers with a focus on family feel & atmosphere. It´s not just a hostel but a place to meet likeminded travellers, experience the best of Sri Lanka whilst having the MOST fun!
We´re only a few minutes away from the best beaches, surf locations, snorkelling, beach clubs, and restaurants. It´s the perfect opportunity to explore everything the island has to offer.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Hospitality/Tourism
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
With an abundance of activities around Weligama there is loads to get stuck into! We are just steps from the best learn to surf beach in Sri Lanka and you can also find diving, snorkelling, whale watching, tea plantations, safaris and we can arrange moped hire and offer free bikes!
We also have local members of staff who would be more than happy to help teach you some words of Sinhalese, learn about their culture or have our housekeeper Nalani cook you her famous rice & curry - we think its the best in town!!
Help
What we are looking for is certified legends!! We don't need 'chill,' 'friendly' people. We want super outgoing, hypersocial people that know how to get a group of people together, are game for everything & know how to start the party whilst also being able to keep themselves relatively collected all at the same time.
The main job is to connect with people and make them feel instantly welcome at the hostel. That includes animating people to join the daily activities and weekly events organised by YOU, to organise exciting and varied things to do on a daily basis, inspire drinking games, introducing people to each other, showing them around, telling them about the best spots to hang out, surf or party and be someone who they can turn to when they have questions.
We´re looking for energetic people with personality and charisma. Being savvy with social media, photography, or any artistic outlet is definitely also a plus.
