About the role
Come join the fun, life-loving team at HI Whistler! Whether it’s for summer, winter - or both - you’ll have a bunch of friends to explore all of what our adventure mountain community has to offer! Whether you are a mountain newbie or a mountain shredder, you’ll find like-minded teammates to create lifelong memories at our hostel. With discounts on ski passes, deals on adventure activities, super-subsidized housing, and a plethora of free outdoor adventures, HI Whistler can be your basecamp for launching all of this. We work hard, but make it look easy with our relaxed atmosphere and we offer shifts that help you make the most of your time with us. You’ve heard about how great Whistler is, but we’ll help you discover how much more rad than that!

- Have fun with a tight-knit group of colleagues on and off shift

- Being part of a not-for-profit organization that embraces sustainable tourism.

- Hands on work, direction of maintenance staff, strict adherence to health and safety regulations, and excellent communication among the various hostel departments

About HI
We love travelling. To us, travel isn’t just about going places, it’s also about meeting people, discovering cultures, eating new food and most of all, learning how people do things differently than we do back home.
We believe that through hostelling, we become more conscious about the world around us; and we can even make the world a better place. Our mission is to build a community of conscious travellers who share a greater understanding of people, places and cultures through our network of hostels and people.

About Hostelling International Canada
We speak different languages, but we're all in this together. Hostels were designed to lower the barriers to travel, because we believe travel fosters a deeper understanding of people, places, and the world around. It's our mission to promote a community of global citizens who have the wisdom and humanity to make the world a better place, and that's what makes hostels the first choice for experienced travelers.
In hostels, you're more likely to meet someone from the other side of the world than someone from your hometown. Our shared kitchens, dining rooms and lounges ensure plenty of opportunities to connect with other travelers, and with hostel events and programs ranging from casual outings to rich cultural activities we help you get to know the destination as we do, beyond what you'll find in guidebooks.
The best part is you don't have to travel far or study abroad to experience hostels for yourself. Our affordable hostels are located in converted mansions, reinvented lighthouses and historic buildings reclaimed in the spirit of discovery and community all across the country.
Hostelling International USA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization founded in 1934 to promote international understanding of the world and its people through hostelling. HI USA, in cooperation with other national associations worldwide, belongs to Hostelling International. This global network offers thousands of hostels in nearly 80 countries.
