About Us
Who is J-1.org?
Founded in 2023, J-1.org is an independent organization dedicated to enhancing the experiences of J-1 SWT participants during their stay in the United States.
Our Mission: Enhancing Your J-1 Experience
At J-1.org, our mission is simple yet crucial: to provide J-1 SWT participants with the tools and resources they need to have a more enjoyable and fulfilling time in the United States. We understand the excitement and challenges that come with living and working in a foreign country, which is why we are here to support you every step of the way.
Our Origin: From Cincinnati to J-1.org
Our journey began in Cincinnati, Ohio, where we initially operated under the website cincy.org. Starting in the heart of Ohio, we focused on assisting J-1 students with crucial needs such as housing and finding additional job opportunities. With our commitment to providing comprehensive support, we quickly gained recognition among J-1 participants in the Cincinnati area.
Expanding Horizons: J-1.org for All J-1s!
Now, we are excited to announce our expansion to J-1.org, catering to J-1 participants nationwide! Whether you are in bustling cities like New York or Chicago, picturesque towns like Aspen or Savannah, or anywhere in between, J-1.org is here for you.
Our Approach: Independence and Empowerment
At J-1.org, Our goal is to provide J1 SWT participants a resource that allows them to have a more enjoyable stay in the United States while connecting them with the basics needed while they are here. We pride ourselves on being an independent reference source. We are not contracted by any U.S. Sponsor Agency or employers, ensuring that our recommendations remain unbiased and focused solely on your best interests. While we cannot guarantee outcomes during your J-1 SWT program, we are committed to providing you with the essentials and connections needed to make the most of your time in the U.S.
