Volunteering can be a great way to not only have an amazing experience cost-effectively (generally you'll be given a room or bed in shared room), but also gain experience managing or facilitating communities and facilities — especially in a boutique destinational coliving amongst super interesting and diverse members.

It needs effort, if you don't follow through the experience members had can stick to your reputation. On the other hand if you do well, every coliving will want you to help them!

If you're fairly outgoing, got a side gig, or want to get deeper into community, then it could work for you — but do check the founder is similarly aligned and not just out to get free labour!

The roles

Usually at smaller colivings the role will be assisting the founder / owners, therefore may not be as member-facing and may even involve tasks such as cleaning. If they're not present or only part-time, you'll likely be resposible for, or helping other volunteers manage all aspects of the property. Learn the differences between a community manager and facilitator…

If the founders are not that familiar with coliving, encourage them to join industry associations, or help you to, and learn the best practices to implement to become a standout coliving community. If you don't have experience nor support from the founder this may not go so well unless you're super reactive.

Connect directly

To find current opportunities, connect with spaces and learn how to help effectively, join the Coliving Community Builders group by @andreea.rrusu.

All the following coliving spaces offer a free stay or reduced rates in return for your help as a volunteer to run and maintain them. Be prepared to plan ahead as opportunities may only be for specific seasons.
