Program Overview
Life Adventures is a US designated J-1 Exchange Visitor
sponsor. As a sponsor, we have the ability to provide
university students and recent graduates the opportunity to
work and travel in the US for up to 4 months during their
summer break. Take your summer and turn it into a US
experience!
Employment Opportunities
Most participants typically work in semi-skilled to
non-skilled service positions at resorts, hotels,
restaurants, and amusement parks. Internships in US
businesses and other organizations (i.e., architecture,
science research, graphic art/publishing and other media
communication, advertising, computer software and
electronics, and legal offices, etc.) are allowed.
Participants are also permitted to work in multiple
locations and can be transferred within departments.
You are welcome to secure your own employment with such
businesses as mentioned above or Life Adventures can
facilitate your placement in a number of different locations
with outstanding resorts and reputable companies. You are
not obligated to accept any offer we may pose to you,
however, once accepted you are expected to keep that
employment commitment for the duration of the program unless
new employment is agreed upon and approved by Life
Adventures.
Eligibility:
Participants must be at least 18 years of age and a
current university student or recent graduate on summer
break.
Flights
Life Adventures works with you to coordinate the arrival
and departure dates and expectations based on your needs,
employers needs and program requirements. We outline
specific arrival windows and work with you to insure
arrivals are optimized to your convenience.

Housing
Housing arrangements will vary by location. Employers
often provide nearby housing options at employee cost. Other
positions will require you to secure housing independent of
the employer.
On Going Support
Life Adventures keeps continual contact with both the
employer and participants to ensure a great experience for
both. You will be required to keep an active email while in
the USA. You will need to check in with Life Adventures on
the website “Check-In” within 5 days of your arrival to
confirm your arrival and to validate your visa. We are here
to help you.
