To help people of all ages and cultures gain a greater understanding and love of the world through travel and hostelling programs.
The Fort Ord Hostel Society wants to transform its 4.6 acres of leased property in Seaside’s future Campus Town – University Village into an eco-friendly sustainable hostel that will provide affordable overnight lodging for adventure travelers with a multi-cultural experience while also offering a gathering space for multi-cultural programs by other nonprofits including participants from the surrounding communities.
When I travel, I like to stay at hostels to meet world travelers with different cultural backgrounds and I think an eco-hostel at Fort Ord would make the Fort Ord National Monument an even greater adventure destination for hiking and biking enthusiasts.
