Work and Travel USA program was launched in Russia in 1994 and has been most popular among young travelers for years. Every summer a few thousand students visit America as participants of the program.

Work and Travel USA allows the student to go to the USA during summer vacation, reside there 2-4 months working legally in the service sector - cafes, hotels, shops, swimming pools, etc. The minimum official wage in the USA is $ 7,25 per hour, and the average participant of the program earns $8-10 per hour.

The program’s widely popular because it allows to save some money as well as experience daily life in the USA, practice and improve linguistic and communicative skills, make new friends, and feel independent. The participants can plan their stay according to their personal priorities – money, rest or travelling. Most of them successfully combine the three possibilities - they prefer to work for 2-3 months and then travel about the USA for another 2-3 weeks before returning to their home country.

Russian full-time/part-time university students - from freshman to senior aged between 18 and 28 are eligible to participate in Work and Travel USA program. Enrollment takes place annually from September till April.
