What is it?
The J1 Work and Travel is a cultural exchange programme that allows college and university students who are enrolled as full-time students to go to the USA to share their culture and ideas through temporary work and travel opportunities.
Why should you participate?
The work and travel programme is a great opportunity for you to visit the US, meet new people, learn about the American culture and also share your culture!

Work and travel for me, has been a wonderful experience. I got the chance to meet people from all over the world and some of them I call friends. I've participated in activities that I've never done before, ate food from different countries and been places I've never been before.
