Work/Travel USA Program
Summer 2009
The Work and Travel USA Program, sponsored by several international educational organizations such as the YMCA and the Council on International Educational Exchange, operated under the auspices of the United States Government, allows English-speaking students, selected from Europe and Asia, to experience American life. Our international workers arrive in late May and may remain until September or October. They are legally authorized to work and are fully covered by medical insurance. The program is sponsored by the US Government which provides work authorization for the participants. Aside from being industrious during regular working hours, most will welcome any overtime work during your busy season as well.
Winter Program
College students from Southern American countries arrive in December and may remain until February or March. Winter resorts, hotels, stores or any other businesses can benefit from legally employing intelligent hard-working English-speaking students from Brasil, Peru and other countries.
