The Hostelling International USA (HI-USA) Mission:
To help all, especially the young, gain a greater understanding of the world and its people through hostelling
HI-USA is the American affiliate of the Hostelling International network of more than 4,000 hostels in over 80 countries. HI-USA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization founded in 1934 to promote international understanding of the world and its people through hostelling. HI-USA operates a network of over 60 quality hostel accommodations throughout the United States that are inexpensive, safe and clean. Our hostels range from urban high-rise buildings with hundreds of beds to small more remote hostels in rural settings.
At the Los Angeles Council of Hostelling International, we go a step further in promoting intercultural awareness by providing a variety of educational programs to the local community. Such programs include our Discover Your World Program, Cultural Kitchen Program, Girl Scouts Weekends, World Travel 101 Budget Travel Workshops, Spirit of Adventure Award, and the HI-Travel Grant.
The Los Angeles Council of HI-USA is responsible for the development of, and service to, HI-USA hostels in Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Kern, San Bernardino and northern Orange counties. The Los Angeles Council also offers educational programming to local residents and children. Learn more about the Los Angeles Council of HI-USA on our About the Council page.
