Submissions are now closed for the Summer 2023 season

The InterExchange Work & Travel USA program is one of the best ways for Jamaican university students to experience life in the United States and spend the university break discovering what it's like to live, work, and travel in the USA. We know that the J-1 Visa process can be overwhelming and frustrating, that is why for over 50 years, InterExchange has helped students through the process making it possible for students to achieve their American dream.
