Whether you are a church, an employer, or a J1 Sponsor, we would love to work together. Our goal is to connect as many J1 visitors with local families as possible, and we have been accomplishing that goal since 2005. Our events are well attended, which means we help to provide meals that are free and tasty and recreation that is inexpensive and memorable.

Our biggest need is for J1 Cafe sponsors. Sponsorship of a J1 Cafe event includes providing dinner for about 250 students and volunteers, which also includes serving the food in our buffet lines (70% students, 30% volunteers). Dinner begins at 7:00PM.

After most of the students have had a first serving of food, we often have announcements, a short program, or games. During this time, we will recognize your organization’s contribution. Historically, sponsorship has been a great opportunity for employers and J1 Sponsors to connect with many of their students in one place. Plus, it's fun! Check out the videos below to see a glimpse of what has been done for the students.
