Imagine clocking in to the sound of laughter, arcade bells and the ocean breeze rolling off the Atlantic.

• Handling cash and card transactions accurately

Why Virginia Beach?

Virginia Beach is a classic American summer destination – three miles of golden sand, a 3-mile oceanfront boardwalk, live music, seafood restaurants and a huge international student community. After your shift you can swim in the Atlantic, rent a bike along the boardwalk, catch a sunset at the Cape Henry Lighthouse or hop on a bus to Washington D.C. and New York for a weekend adventure.

The city is famous among Work & Travel participants for being safe, walkable, student-friendly and full of second-job opportunities.
