What is the Greenheart Club?
All CCI Work and Travel participants are eligible to join the Greenheart Club, which is a club designed to provide you with a chance to be creative in your cultural exchange experience and learn more about the business you work for.
Join now and take advantage of our Greenheart Club, where Work and Travel participants can either evaluate the effects their place of business has on the environment or participate in a community service project. Participants who submit a Greenheart Club project will be entered to earn a
free 2011 Work and Travel Program.

How to win the Greenheart Work and Travel Club?
Winners are determined by the quality of the Greenheart Club project and how well they grasp the concept of what needs to be done to truly “green their workplace.”
Meet our 2009 Greenheart Club Winner: Lu Chen!
Lu Chen is from China, and worked at McDonalds in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In her final project, she successfully evaluated her place of business and made insightful suggestions on how to better “green” the business, as well as thoughtful comparisons between McDonalds restaurants in the U.S. and locations in China.
“Through the Greenheart Club, I learn that we should care more about our environment,” Lu Chen said. “I'm glad that I've participated in the program. The program is educational and informative. The experience means a lot to me.”
