Greenheart Club for Work and Travel Participants

J-1 Work Participants Making a Difference

CCI's J-1 Work and Travel Program participants are encouraged to participate in the Greenheart initiative to improve our global environment and foster greater cultural understanding. Being a part of Greenheart is easy through participation in the Greenheart Club. Participating in the Greenheart Club can be accomplished by doing a community service project or by becoming involved with the green movement and letting us know about it.

How will you make a difference?

We know you are busy and participating in the Greenheart Club may seem like more work, but…. the Greenheart Club will help you gain a deeper connection to your business and host community, while giving you valuable U.S. experience for your CV/Resume.
