UPDATE APRIL: We are looking for a longer term YOGA TEACHER to lead our classes July through September during the off season. We are also looking for content writers!
We require volunteers to help out in the day to day environment, with an emphasis on developing our relationship with the local community. We currently engage in local projects including giving English books, stationary and help to the local school. We hope to find new effective ways to engage with the local community!
At the moment, we are looking for the following skilled helpers;
- Marketing/Advertising People/Geniuses: Increasing our exposure and improving our marketing campaigns.
- Web Designers
- Photographers/Videographers: Projects within the local community and within hostel lifestyle
- Logo/Graphic Designers
- Musicians: performing once per week and running open mic
- Yoga Teachers
- Visual Artists: Creating artworks and murals around the Hostel
We would prefer volunteers who would be happy to stay for at least one month and would be happy for couples to apply.
Please send us an email of your credentials :)
