Experience Santa Cruz
While volunteering
As a hostel volunteer
Our guests and neighbors are essential to our mission, “To help people of all ages gain a greater knowledge, understanding and love of the world through hostelling!”. Please gift us some of your time and knowledge so we can keep hosting amazing travelers.
