Dear Participant,
Here are some important facts about second jobs and the process of approval. Yes, second jobs are completely OK! IF you inform AWA prior to making any job changes AND you have a fully vetted and approved employer.
To get a second job approved by AWA please complete the attached "second job request form". Please email this form to kathleen@workadventures.org. Please also note that your potential second employer will need to complete the attached "second employer packet" in addition to providing a copy of their business license and worker's compensation certificate. Do note it is YOUR responsibility to get these documents from your employer. You MUST receive written approval from AWA prior to starting a second job. Your host employer must also be informed by you and approve for you to have a second job. Any and all hours scheduled at a second employer must be worked around your host employer hours. Please remembe r too that as a J1 participant your work hours are not to be schedule predominantely between the hours of 10pm and 6am. Do NOT work for an employer that offers a job on the prohibted job list see
