The International YMCA does not assist with visa application procedures or contract negotiations.  

It is your responsibility to get the visa and all other documents, such as exit visas, medical reports, proof of student status (for those in the YMCA Work/Travel Program), and proof of certification in specialties (for those in the International Camp Counselor Program).

For Returning Staff/Direct Placement Program  and YMCA Work/Travel Program participants:

You will need to clarify with your United States supervisor who will be responsible for making international and domestic travel arrangements, what date you are expected to arrive in the United States, what your salary will be, when you will be paid, and what dates you are expected to be at the site in the United States. Because the International YMCA won’t be overseeing your arrangements with the host organization, it is vital for you to stay in contact with your supervisor in the weeks preceding your arrival.
