There was a huge sense of community within the company. I really enjoyed the ability to meet new people and enjoy fun social activities with them

My time at ITH has been amazing. Nathan and Taylor are great management. It's not super hard work if you follow the scoreboard you're given. I would definitely recommend this experience to others.

ITH is a fantastic volunteer opportunity! Everything was perfect, from the facilities, volunteers, and employees, to the location, flexibility, and excitement. Had I of known I was going to enjoy my time in San Diego as much as I did, I would have planned to stay longer. If you are a remote worker like myself, ITH is ideal as they will easily work with your schedule. I loved the company so much, I am continuing my journey with ITH in other locations around Cali in the next few months. Thanks for everything guys and see you soon!

ITH is an excellent place to upgrade skills, improve English, and enjoy California. The team is professional, caring, and responsible, fostering a positive work environment. The management team really cares about you. Sometimes it feels like a real job than work exchange, but schedule is much easier than it was in New York and It's about work culture in the USA, I understand that. Staff changes occur frequently due to company policy, but overall, it's a great place for a genuine California experience. You can also explore working in various locations with different atmospheres
