Each year, Legacy International's Global Youth Village hires between 5-10 international staff. The U.S. government limits the number and nationalities of the staff Legacy can bring to the U.S. under it's Exchange Visitors Program. Therefore, applicants whom we choose to hire may be asked to travel under the auspices of a program administered by another organization with which Legacy has a cooperative relationship. You must return to your home country at the end of the allotted time period. It is extremely difficult to extend J-1 visas.
Legacy has no influence or connections in granting such requests.
Legacy also helps international staff members obtain their visas. The staff member arranges his or her own transportation. Each one has its own terms. Legacy and the program will help you get your visa. The net financial results, whether you travel under Legacy's or some other program, is approximately the same.
