Why Juneau, Alaska?
Juneau is the only U.S. state capital you can’t reach by road – you arrive by plane or boat, and that’s part of the magic. In your free time you can hike to the Mendenhall Glacier, ride the Goldbelt Tramway up Mount Roberts, watch humpback whales breach in Auke Bay, kayak past sea lions, fish for salmon, or soak in the endless daylight of the Alaskan summer. Staying into the fall means you may also catch the first golden tundra colors and even the northern lights. Juneau’s summer community is full of international students – you’ll make friends from around the globe.
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.
