About YHA

YHA believe in the power of travel and adventure. To connect people to each other, to nature and the outdoors, to culture and to heritage.

Hostelling makes travel and adventure accessible to everyone, everywhere. YHA operates over 150 sites throughout England and Wales — a community of shared spaces, open to all and for the benefit of everybody.

YHA provide inclusive adventures, in extraordinary buildings, in amazing places. They're proud to rank first globally for guest satisfaction. Yet they are much more than accommodation.

YHA are a leading social enterprise and a 90-year-old movement. A charity on a mission to enrich the lives of all, but especially young people, and improve physical health, mental wellbeing and life skills through the experiences they create.

They bring the adventure, for the first time, for a lifetime. By working with them not only will you feel the benefit, but you will help YHA continue to reach those who’d miss out without them.

Their people share a common purpose: to improve health, wellbeing, and life skills. Their culture is collaborative; they work together following core values and behaviours called HEART: Helpful, Efficient, Authentic, Respectful and Team-spirited.

YHA may be spread across two countries. And work in various towns and cities, on the coast, in remote rural spots or at National Office. Yet YHA is one team. And for the health and success of the team, they take individual responsibility, show personal leadership qualities, and collaborate towards their goals.
