Why Fairbanks, Alaska?
Fairbanks is the gateway to Alaska’s interior and a true bucket-list location. During the summer you’ll experience up to 21 hours of daylight, endless hiking trails, riverboat cruises and easy access to Denali National Park and the Arctic Circle. As the season shifts toward fall, the tundra turns gold and the aurora borealis begins to appear in the night sky – something very few Work & Travel participants ever get to see.
The city has a friendly, small-town feel with a huge international summer workforce, so you’ll be surrounded by students from around the globe who become friends for life.
About Alaska
Alaska is the ultimate Work & Travel adventure - glaciers, Denali, midnight sun and untouched wilderness. Most students work in remote lodges, national-park resorts and on tour boats, earning some of the highest summer wages in the country.
