Glow Up at Rowardennan Lodge!
Help us look after our green space ahead of opening!
*UPDATE: Thank you for the incredible response to our volunteering opportunity. Due to the high level of interest, we’ve taken the decision to close applications earlier than planned. We’re truly grateful for the enthusiasm and support. We hope to share more volunteering opportunities later this year, stay tuned!
Join us at Rowardennan Lodge Youth Hostel from 16 - 19 March 2026 for our latest volunteering opportunity.
We're inviting a small team of enthusiastic volunteers to join us for a 3-day glow up of our beautiful site at Rowardennan on the banks of Loch Lomond.
Together, we'll refresh the grounds, tidy the outdoor spaces, and make sure everything is looking its best before we open for the season.
This is a brilliant opportunity to enjoy time outdoors, meet new people, and make a positive impact on the local environment, all while exploring one of Scotland's most stunning locations.
