Here is some information on those wanting to come and stay with us to volunteer, learn and experience Oklahoma for tourism and Cultural Exchange.

We provide a place to stay and meals while here learning. You are responsible for incidentals and other expenses. 

We are hoping to provide those who want to come from OUT OF COUNTRY more information on how to VOLUNTEER here and stay on site. Here is a link to volunteering in the US and always make sure you have the correct information before traveling.

Per the website: Voluntary Work. Individuals participating in voluntary service programs that benefit a U.S. local community, who can establish that they are a member of, and have a commitment to, a particular recognized religious or nonprofit charitable organization, may be eligible for a B-1 visa if the work to be performed is traditionally done by volunteer charity workers. The individuals must not receive a salary or remuneration from a U.S. source, other than an allowance or other reimbursement for expenses incidental to their stay in the United States. Voluntary workers cannot engage in the selling of articles and/or the solicitation and acceptance of donations.

A voluntary service program is an organized project conducted by a recognized religious or nonprofit charitable organization to provide assistance to the poor or the needy, or to further a religious or charitable cause.

If the proposed activities do not match this description, an exchange visitor (J-1) or a temporary work visa is necessary.

Note: When applying for entry into the United States as a voluntary worker with a visa, or under the Visa Waiver Program, please bring a letter from your U.S. sponsor with the following information:

• Your name and date and place of birth
• Your foreign permanent residence address
• The name and address of your initial destination in the U.S.
• The anticipated duration of your assignment

Note: The visa validity period is not the same as the authorized length of stay. At the time of your entry into the U.S., a USCIS officer will determine the length of your stay in the U.S. Extensions of stay will be granted only in cases of sudden or compelling humanitarian reasons. The maximum extension for travelers entering the U.S. on a B visa is six months.
