Contact a local representative in your home country to apply to the CIEE Work & Travel USA program. They will be your main point of contact throughout the application process, from when you apply to when you depart. The process is easy, and before you know it, you’ll be working and traveling in the U.S.!

Apply

Students can participate in the Work & Travel USA program for up to four months during their summer holiday, and travel for up to 30 days after their work experience.

Students are eligible to work at resorts, hotels, restaurants, stores, theme parks, and national parks.

Depending on your home university calendar, Work & Travel USA seasons are:

  • Winter: Mid-November—Mid-April
  • Spring: Early March—Early July
  • Summer: Mid-May—Mid-October
CIEE works with representatives around the world. They will be able to provide you with program information, application forms and will help you through the application process.

I also learned about life, friendship, how to survive by myself.
