If you’re an international traveler planning an extended stay in New York or Miami, consider joining our Work Exchange program.

Work Exchange at Jazz Hostels is a great opportunity to work and live in a friendly atmosphere where you can meet people from around the world while having fun on the job.  In exchange for 24 hours a week of work in a variety of tasks—ranging from front desk duty, to housekeeping, to administrative work—you’ll receive free accommodation in one of our hostels for as long as you’re with us. 

Jazz Hostels prefers to accept particpants who are students of the hospitality industry or long-term travelers who are equally interested in exploring new cities as well as contributing to the Jazz Hostels vibe by supporting our staff.  Also, to participate in the Work Exchange program, a commitment of 1 - 3 months is required.

Please note that you must be a Non-New York resident to participate in the Work Exchange program in any of our New York locations.

If you are interested in joining, please download our Work Exchange Application (PDF 1MB), whcih includes many more details about the program. Complete all the sections in the application and email it to workexchange@jazzhostels.com.

Thank you!
