CCI Greenheart's Going Greenheart Tour

The Going Greenheart Tour brings together J-1 Summer Work and Travel participants with their employers and CCI Greenheart staff to make a positive impact in the communities where the participants are working in environmental volunteer action. Through the Going Greenheart Tour, participants and staff help clean beaches, build houses for those in need, work on reforestation projects, and volunteer at recycling centers. This is our commitment to being "The Greenheart of Cultural Exchange" by enriching the exchange experience through meaningful volunteer projects. These projects not only better the world but help J-1 participants develop deeper connections with their employers and host communities.

Testimonials from Going Greenheart Tour Participants:

"Before in my country, we lived to live or to survive. Now I want to live and to help other people. That is the main thing I got from the US is that I am not alone in this world. I have to help other people who need my help." –Seiful Umatov

"I love my work. I love my co-workers and I love the American way of life. That's why I keep coming back." - Deer Valley participant, Kenhan Turbay, who has been on the program 3 times

"It think it is really important to have J-1 students on the staff just because it brings a whole new dynamic to our restaurant and to our workplace; just brings that cultural diversity." - Manager, Elephant and Castle, Chicago, IL
