Welcome to J-1.org!
The home for your J-1 Summer Work and Travel
Program experience.
Hi! My name is Anjuli and I want to welcome you to our site. Our mission is to provide current and future J-1 SWT participants with everything they need to have an unforgettably good experience in the USA.
We undertook this after helping the J-1 participants through a challenging 2023 season in Cincinnati. We quickly realized that there is no ‘one source’ that give the students the ‘REAL’ facts about coming to the U.S. and so, with the help of a few of the J-1 students, built this website to do just that!
Our site is still ‘under construction’ so please check in regularly to learn more as we add updates and tools, as well as locations.
If you are interested in helping us on our journey as we include more states and cities, please reach out using this simple form and we will be in touch as soon as possible!
We are also working to offer an easy way for past and present J-1 students to file their US Federal and State taxes. The money we earn via our J-1 TaxPrime App is what will keep the site going and help us grow.
We look forward to being of service to you as you build friendships and have the experiences of a lifetime in the U.S.A.!
