The choice of when to sign up for Work and Travel program is entirely yours. However, it is good to know that both US sponsoring organizations and the US Embassy are still functioning with a reduced capacity and they cannot guarantee that they would have the resources to proceed the applications on time.

We strongly advice you not to delay your enrollment to make sure you have a reserved place in the program, as well as your documents being processed with priority, which is extremely important, when you are planning to depart to the US as early as in May.

Can I get a second job?

Absolutely and we are sure you will! Usually, it’s best to find a second job, after you have arrived in the US. Your second job should be not in a conflict with your primary placement, so we advise you first to get familiar with the place, check what’s around and what the transportation options are and then browse for extra job options.

Is the housing arranged?

Most employers provide housing and the housing costs are deducted from paycheck. The cost of housing depends mainly on the location and type of accommodation, the costs may varay from $30 per week to $150+. Usually, the housing is similar to student dormitories, with 2-4 students per room and basic amenities. In some cases, the housing is not provided and the participants have to find housing options on their own or the employers assist them with affordable, seasonal housing options in the area.
