Support from Interns

This program requires a $29 monthly fee to help us cover our costs. That is less than a dollar a day.

Our international interns all agreed that the benefits of adding American work experience to your resume and thereby improving your employment prospects make that a great bargain. We trust that you will agree. 

We may increase that amount in the future, but we will not increase your fees after you begin.

When we accept you, the onboarding materials will include a place where you can sign up for the recurring payment, which you can cancel at any time that you leave us.
