Program adventure

We host meaningful experiences so you can get out into the world, have fun and grow in a safe space. Our programs are about traveling the US and working to help offset the cost of that travel.

Our Adventure Portal is your One-Stop-Shop for planning your experience and getting the help you need. Whether you are looking to travel to one location for a season or see multiple locations throughout a year, we have the right experience for you. We set you up with a job so you can work to help offset the cost of your travel regardless of the time of year. Check out our programs here to see your options. Choose your adventure! Once you're hired we handle all of your experience logistics — you book your travel, we secure your housing and plan your onboarding with your employer.

We're available during your experience — stay in touch with your personal Adventure Guide for anything and everything you need. Join our alumni network and apply to be an On-Site Coordinator for future experiences — you'll work part-time for AdventureEXP while working for another employer.

Sounds cool, right? We are happy to work with gap year students on their program that are looking for a more independent experience where they will work and live in a destination in the US. Check out Our Programs to learn more about typical jobs on our program. While our diverse program types cater to people in all stages of life, the minimum age requirement is 18 years old. We primarily work with employers in seasonal areas of the country so the available jobs do depend on the time of year you are traveling.

A few of our most popular positions are in hospitality, food and beverage, and retail. AdventureEXP partners with universities, professional societies, community centers and much much more. Once we learn your business, we facilitate the hiring and on-boarding process through AdventureEXP. AdventureEXP is here to help you along your career path. Whether you need help deciding your next steps, writing your resume or just want to share your experience — we are here to help!
