Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Travelers will learn all about New York City, the most famous city in the world and many cultural activities to choose from

During the EXPERIENCE you will have daily interaction with people from all over the world. Otherwise it's pretty quiet and you have the house to yourself and plenty of time to work on other endeavors and explore NYC.
Arbeit
We have a weekend excursion for volunteers who help with our NPO in Detroit. We need Experience Leaders to take people on tours and manage this new program

This program, includes fun tours, English lessons, and educational activities.

Unterkunft
single bed in a shared room.
We are currently OFF GRID, so there no indoor plumbing if that is a deal breaker please do not contact us.
Was noch ...
We are within walking distance to transportation to Manhattan.

We are located in New Jersey, a different state, but very close to NYC. It is a very safe residential family neighborhood. It's the best of both worlds! Outside the hustle and bustle of the world's famous city but very easy to get to major attractions by public transporation.

You can also visit our location in Detroit if you are interested!
