Program Details

Volunteers will share a small private room with bunk beds. Bathrooms are shared with the guests. Access to the full kitchen with breakfast included.
You can expect to work around 5 hrs per day 4-5 days per week with a couple days off depending on occupancy. When there aren't any guests your time is your own. I need someone willing to be flexible based on when we have guests.

Activities & Shift

Daily activities will include reception, updating social media accounts, cleaning, housekeeping, serving breakfast, laundry, gardening and just making sure guests have everything they need for a great experience.
Whoever is on shift will carry the cell phone between 7am and 5pm and we will all take turns carrying it after hours in case we get a drop-in guest or someone gets locked out of the house.

Rules

All house rules will also apply to volunteers such as no smoking on the property and no overnight guests. A schedule will be adhered to as closely as possible If someone needs to switch a shift it will be up to them to make sure someone is covering for them.
