Info

BUNAC’s Work America programme offers full-time students an exciting opportunity to live, work and travel in the States for up to four months this summer.

With the chance to work any job, anywhere in the States over the summer, seasonal work is a popular choice. Choose from one of hundreds of jobs listed in BUNAC’s Job Directory, and follow in the footsteps of past BUNACers who have found work in places such as hotels, restaurants, country clubs, resort towns and tourist attractions.

BUNAC will organise your insurance, provide you with 24/7 support services, an invaluable job directory and of course that all-important US visa. We can even organise for you to meet other Work America members on one of our scheduled flights so you won’t have to travel alone.

However you decide to spend your summer in America, it will be an experience that you’ll remember for a lifetime. With some of the world’s most amazing destinations right on your doorstep, you could find yourself on the ultimate road trip visiting all those places that you’ve only ever seen in films.

Our great value for money package takes all the stress out of the application process so all you have to worry about is deciding which job to choose from the directory!
