About the employer
Forty One North brings modern elegance to historic Newport, Rhode Island, right on the lively downtown waterfront. The property includes a marina, two full-service restaurants with outdoor bars and dining, and a hotel for guests.
It is a high-volume operation, so you can expect teamwork and a strong focus on excellence, whatever your tasks may be. International students are placed across different areas of the property. All employees receive a 50% dining discount off the restaurant menu. You must secure your own housing before arrival, though the employer partners with two real estate brokers to make the search easier.

Why Newport, Rhode Island?
Newport is one of New England’s most legendary summer destinations — a sailing capital packed with Gilded Age mansions, cobblestone streets, world-famous music festivals, and some of the best beaches on the East Coast. Walk the Cliff Walk, spend your days off at Easton’s Beach, explore Thames Street, and take weekend trips to Boston (about 1.5 hours) or New York City. With thousands of students and seasonal workers arriving every summer, the social scene is unbeatable.
About Rhode Island
