So my daughter (18 years old) is planning a month long trip to Oklahoma to stay at a youth hostel in exchange for 20 hours work a week with lots of spare time for tourism. We're having difficulty working out which visa she needs.
The people where she is planning to stay just said to get a ESTA which is part of the visa waiver program but I've seen reports of people being turned away from immigration using this visa incorrectly for volunteer work.
It's the "volunteer" (not for charity) part that we're having trouble with finding out.
I tried calling the US embassy but couldn't get through to a human and their website doesn't cover volunteering
Can anyone advise?
