If you have volunteered as staff in the past, thank you for your service. The Hostel is where it is today because of the countless volunteer hours that former staff have contributed. If you have interest in working for the Hostel again, we ask that you still fill out an application so that the current Manager can make an informed decision while composing their staff. If you happen know someone who would be a good steward of the space, please send them to our website. Thank you, and may the Forest be with you!
