🏢 About the local organisation

Our hostel is a member of “Hostelling International network”. It is a worldwide network of Not-for-Profit Youth Hostel Associations. Their local members are all passionate advocates of sustainable travel and are dedicated to connecting young people and local communities in a peaceful and respectful way. In Belgium, the “Auberges de Jeunesse” (youth hostels) are recognized as non-profit organizations and as youth organizations by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation (the French-speaking government of Belgium).

💼 What the programme involves

- Reception of the public ;
- Animation, creation or organisation of activities to facilitate encounters ;
- Helping with communication ;
- Helping in the kitchen and bar ;

Working time:

The volunteer works 24 hours per week, typically for a maximum of 4 or 5 hours per day.
