HI-AYH has a long and proud volunteer tradition. Volunteers play an integral role in fulfilling the Hostelling International mission - promoting global understanding and world peace through travel.
Volunteers come from a range of backgrounds, experiences, and professions.
They bring many different skills and talent to their work. They lead excursions throughout the city, assist travelers in needed information and host special events. Volunteers design and facilitate travel education programs for youth and adults who want to learn more about our growing global society, cultures and diverse population. Behind the scenes, volunteers assist staff in fundraising, event planning, and developing promotional materials. Each volunteer receives training and support from hostel staff and professionals.
