Beginning of the Season Events

Making sure your international participants have a warm welcome can be the key to a successful season. Remember, they've just arrived in a new country and don't know anyone! Events at the beginning of the season can be as simple as gathering employees together for introductions or a name game. Here are a couple ideas to welcome participants:

Welcome to the U.S.: Host a welcome reception for Summer Work Travel participants and introduce U.S. culture. Suggested materials: name tags, sign-in sheet, American culture speech balloon, ice breaker game, cultural bingo, flag frames, American culture trivia. Materials available on our website.

First day of work: Orient participants to the workplace and allow time for participants to get to know their colleagues. Use icebreaker games to help people get acquainted. Suggested materials: name tags, sign-in sheet, American culture speech balloon, ice breaker game, cultural bingo, flag frames, American culture trivia. Materials available on our website.
