HI USA offers free stays for community service groups

Each January and February, Hostelling International USA (HI USA) offers groups free overnight accommodations across 30+ hostels in exchange for volunteer work in the surrounding community. Participating locations include NYC, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and more.

Whether you’re a service group, college group or group of friends wanting to visit somewhere new and give back, apply now for the Great Hostel Give Back program.

HI New Orleans Hostel, opening Feb. 2019 at 1028 Canal St., will offer this program in July and August with select community partner organizations. For more information, please contact community.neworleans@hiusa.org.
