YHA England and Wales has youth hostels in amazing locations in cities, towns, the countryside and by the sea. Youth hostels offer a place to stay, a warm and safe welcome, accessible and flexible accommodation, activities and education packages and best of all we are open to everyone, whatever age or where they are from.We create opportunities for travel and real adventure for all young people – and we strive to reach young people coping with poverty, disability, bereavement, long-term illness and other challenges who may otherwise miss out. Our mission is to reach out and enhance the lives of all young people, with the goal of reaching more than one million young people every year. Volunteering with YHA is a fantastic way to have fun, learn new skills, meet new people, boost your CV and give something back. We can offer help with travel expenses, discounted meals and even free stays for volunteers taking part in residential opportunities. We have a variety of different volunteering opportunities so you can choose when, where and how you give your time to support us.
