Work England
Earn money while having the trip of a lifetime! AIDE’s work programs
allow you to immerse yourself in a new country and culture without
worrying about the costs. Working in a new country will let you
experience life and the culture as a true insider while acting as an
ambassador for your own nation. The money you earn will make it
possible to get out and do more. You can explore on your days off or
travel at the end of your placement.
The Association for International Development and Exchange (AIDE)
provides international teach, work and volunteer placements. AIDE was
launched in August 2007 as the new not for profit sister organization
of Alliance Abroad Group (AAG), in order to expand upon the programs
historically offered by the AAG Outbound Department. As a not for
profit AIDE aims to reach a larger audience, and has more than 15
years of experience in offering programs abroad due to its affiliation
with the AAG Outbound Department. Our Goal is to create programs and
services for people that will create positive change in their
communities in the U.S. and abroad and will enhance their chances to
achieve international understanding.
AIDE will find you a high quality placement in either a pub or hotel,
along with affordable housing. The Work England program gives you the
opportunity to work, live and experience Britain like an insider. You
will get to experience the true nature of the British people and
immerse yourself in the culture of this historical country.
