Be part of our story

Over the years, volunteers have been a cornerstone of the Sumba Hospitality Foundation.

Their enthusiasm is contagious to students, staff and they often leave a lasting impression. We welcome volunteers and interns from diverse backgrounds who can provide the Foundation with a particular expertise.

Generally, we require a minimum age of 23 years, for a period of at least two months. Experts are welcome to provide workshops for a few days, up to 2 weeks.
