All of our summer jobs are in the service industry; you can expect to work in restaurants, amusement parks, hotels, coffee shops, and much more.

Your accommodation will be organized by our sponsor in the US or by your employer. They try to ensure it is as convenient as possible, aiming for a place near your work or with good transport options. All of the information you need about your accommodation will be included in your job offer, which you will receive before you set off.
