Pub Crawl Leader: Show International Travelers NYC Nightlife

Save to Favorites

Meet people from all over the world and show them a good time in New York! We are looking for volunteers to show off New York City nightlife. Hostelling International New York is one of the largest hostels in the world and is located in the Upper West Side. We are the number one cultural space for young people traveling, especially international travelers, in New York City.

Hosteling International New York hosts a Pub Crawl on Mondays, Thursdays, Friday's and Saturday's. Pub crawls are a great way for guests to meet each other and create lasting experiences. Volunteers offer a unique insider’s perspective to local bars and, in addition to being excellent resources to guests themselves, act as connectors to local communities and individuals. Leaders should have an outgoing personality, be sociable and responsible. Pub Crawls are great fun for both guests and volunteers!
