AmeriSpan Advantage
Unequalled experienceAmeriSpan's staff has three passions: Language, culture and travel. Individually and as a group, we have accumulated experiences and knowledge related to these passions. We have traveled to and worked/volunteered in more than 65 countries - every continent except Antarctica - and speak 10 languages. Every AmeriSpan staff member has studied and/or lived abroad for extended periods of time. We understand your questions and concerns because we have personally dealt with the same issues. We have gone to great lengths to make it easier for you than it was for us.We will provide you with extensive pre-departure information helping you to prepare adequately for your experience. We address practical questions as well as cultural and language issues. Once in-country, you will continue to receive prepping and guidance in the form of meetings and/or workshops. We are always here to address any questions or concerns you may have.
Unbiased Immersion Travel SpecialistsAmeriSpan has evaluated hundreds of program providers, language schools, volunteer projects and internship placements to determine which programs to offer. Our independence allows us to give you unbiased evaluations of the programs and help you decide which program would be the best solution for your needs and wishes.
No Headaches, No HasslesAside from assisting you with which program to choose, we work hard to make the whole process as simple as possible. AmeriSpan pre-arranges your work placement, lodging, airport pick-up, language classes (if needed) and other services. With AmeriSpan, you will not have to worry about international wire transfers, international phone calls or dozens of other possible complications with arrangements and money. We accept personal checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. AmeriSpan accepts applications by mail, by fax or online.
Hand-Picked ProgramsAmeriSpan's staff has visited hundreds of programs throughout the world and we have handpicked those which we think are the best available for each location. The programs AmeriSpan offers are the ones we would choose to attend ourselves.
Emergency Message ServiceDuring an emergency if your family can't contact you, they may call us 24 hours/day, dictate the message and we will relay the message to you. Conversely, if you cannot reach your family and it is an emergency, call us collect from anywhere and we will relay the message.
