Join to apply for the Lead a Prohibition history pub tour in Old Town for travelers! role at Hostelling International USA (HI USA).

We bring travelers together in the largest hostel network in the USA, but that’s just the start from local tours and experiences, to experiential learning programs, HI USA strives to bring moments of cultural understanding to our guests and community members. HI USA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, member‑based organization that reinvests its surpluses back into our hostels and programs so they can have an even greater impact, year after year.

MUST BE A RESIDENT OF CHICAGO OR THE CHICAGO AREA TO APPLY.

The HI USA PUB TOUR allows our travelers to engage in a social activity that allows an opportunity for them to learn more about the community and each other. The primary purpose of a PUB TOUR is to expose guests to new locations within our community and have conversations with other guests.

As the Prohibition Pub Tour volunteer, we ask that you ensure your program provides opportunities for guests to learn and share history, culture, and perspectives. When leading the PUB TOUR, we require the following:

• We have an already established area and bars selected that include a unique history/story that gives insight into the local culture.
• The tour must include questions and/or activities that encourage conversations and/or reflection among the guests. Some examples include asking guests if they have locations with a similar history or inviting guests to share their favorite pub traditions.

We are looking for someone to lead a pre‑established 3‑hour pub tour around the theme of prohibition in the Old Town neighborhood on either Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Saturday evenings.

HI USA is a 501(c)(3) non‑profit education association. Our purpose is to “inspire a deeper understanding of people, places and cultures for a more tolerant world.” As a non‑profit, the revenues we receive through overnight stays and memberships are reinvested in mission delivery.

• Meet new people from all over the world, including travelers, staff, and fellow volunteers
• Help bring people together and facilitate cultural exchange
• Build skills in public speaking, foreign languages, intercultural communication, and more
• Earn HI USA membership and overnights at HI USA hostels
• Training provided and flexible schedule
• Have fun while making a difference!

All volunteers receive training prior to leading a tour, including safety protocols, group facilitation skills, and the day‑of program.
