Work/Travel Student Participants

The EMF Work/Travel Program allows foreign college students to explore life in the United States with a maximum of freedom and at reduced cost compared to other travel abroad programs. The Work/Travel Program makes overseas students more than tourists, allowing them to experience life in the U.S. firsthand by working alongside U.S. citizens in temporary employment. Not only does this unique opportunity allow for a more genuine "U.S. experience," the wages earned at your job in the United States help cover travel expenses!

To be eligible for the EMF Work/Travel USA program, you must:

	Be 18 to 29 years old.
	Be registered as a full-time student at an accredited university or other state-recognized institution of post-secondary education. The degree/diploma course on which you are registered must be at least 2 years in duration. Students on post-graduate courses which are less than two years can also be accepted (e.g. masters courses).
	Complete an EMF Work/Travel Application, including all statements of financial responsibility.
	Be able to function in an English-speaking work environment. Before participating in the Work/Travel Program, you will be screened for at least an intermediate level of English ability. This can be verified by having a Certified English Teacher fill out the English Ability and Reference section of the application form and/or by submitting scores from an accredited English test: TOEFL, Cambridge English Exam.
	Undergo an interview, conducted by an EMF staff member or a partner organization agent either in person or by telephone.
	Participate in a pre-departure organization in your country, organized by EMF or its agents.
