Frequently Asked Questions
The biggest questions you might have about the Service Team are answered here!
With a more flexible time commiment and start/finish time, Service Team is a unique experience at Surfing The Nations. Unlike the Internship Program, you will not have classroom time and teachings on biblical character etc. Your time will be scheduled on a needs basis, and may change at any time. Its a great opportunity to serve in multiple ways!
The Service Team volunteer schedule is typically from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Sundays and Mondays are off and you are free to surf, skate, hang out with STN Ohana, and explore the island.
All Service Team schedules are made based on immediate needs on the property at the moment. If you have a certain skill set, we always try to integrate it into your schedule (eg. graphic designer, barista, plumber, electrician), but nothing is guaranteed. You could be babysitting, sweeping, cleaning, serving the homeless at our food pantry, or hauling furniture donations - anything can happen! An ability to be flexible and go where needed is what we are looking for!
If you are someone who doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty, working hard , diving into the community, and going where needed, then Service Team is probably a perfect fit! We value flexibility, self-starters, and hard workers.
Getting to and from the island is your responsibility, however we will pick you up from the airport and return you when your serving time is done :)
During STN-run events, transportation will be provided with STN vehicles. Anything outside of that is not included. There is a good bus system that runs across the island that can be utilized, or you are welcome to purchase or rent a vehicle.
