J1 Services
This is a list of resources to help get you to San Francisco, and to get you settled in and established once you arrive.
Contacting local GAA clubs before travelling You can easily contact any of the San Francisco Bay Area's seventeen GAA clubs directly through the club contacts page. You can also have a browse through the clubs page to see which clubs may be suitable for you. Most clubs will help you to find work and affordable accomodation when you arrive, so you can find somewhere cheaper to live than whatever motel you'll be staying in at first. |
Where to get information before travelling Usit, a commercial travel agent specialising in
student travel, has a good
online resource with all the latest information about the J1
visa programme, what it is, and how it works. |
Where to get help when you arrive While your club will probably be your main point of contact, the Irish Immigration Pastoral Center is another great source of support for people arriving in town. They can point you in the right direction with regard to visas, accomodation and employment. They also have a drop-in center where you will find friendly and supportive staff and volunteers who provide a "home base" for immigrants. At the Drop-In Center you can ask immigration and citizenship questions, get service referrals, check out job and housing listings, find out what social events are happening, share concerns, and make useful contacts with other immigrants.
