At American Work Adventures (AWA), our mission is to create global connections through American work adventures. Our program supports this mission by offering a wide range of seasonal work opportunities for students.  It also supports student immersion into the communities which they reside and gives them a greater understanding of the American business environment.  Furthermore, the students gain a sense of independence by living on their own and return to their home country with rich memories, as well as insights into the values of a democratic society and free market economy.
