Green HI Hostels

The main aim of the project is to raise awareness about sustainability issues among international guests of HI Iceland, the staff of the HI hostels and the local community by maintaining the already developed sustainability policy of HI Iceland and developing new ways to increase sustainability consciousness in the daily activities of the HI hostels.
The aim within the leading team of HI Iceland has been to make the Reykjavik Hostels a model of excellence in the field of quality management and a leader in sustainable management. We have worked constantly on developing and implementing the Hostels’ own Sustainability Policy and methods in all daily work for many years now.
It has now come the moment when the aim developed to a broader perspective, which includes active participation in the community and cultural side.
The volunteers, that participate in the Green HI Hostels project, are called Green messengers. Their role is to explore different ways of promoting sustainability in the HI Hostels. This can be done in various ways and we are open to new ideas of the Green messengers that contribute to the sustainability work of HI Iceland.
Three Green messengers take part in the project at each time. Two are already working on the project so at this point we are looking for the third participant in the team. It is to be noted that the three simultaneously working volunteers would share the tasks and in that way gain experience which will benefit and inspire them in the different fields of the project, as well as in the future.
