Are you passionate about Chicago? Do you like interacting with people from all over the world? Help travelers have incredible and organized travel experiences! We are looking for locals to work the Information Desk at HI Chicago. The Info Desk is similar to a hotel concierge: it's a place where guests ask for directions, how to use the CTA, where to get the best deep dish, and what are your secret, local tips. Info Desk Volunteers will work 3 hour shifts when the hostel is busiest: during the morning breakfast hours and during check-in in the evening. Currently available shifts are listed above. Shifts are 2 to 4 hours within the morning window (8am-12p) and evening window (4p-9p). have a chance to sign up for one or more recurring weekly shifts.
After applying, the HI Chicago VEC (Volunteer & Engagement Coordinator) will contact you to schedule a video call to discuss more details of this opportunity.
