Youth Mobility Scheme Petition

A couple months back, I mentioned the shift from the BUNAC scheme (which ends this year) to the Youth Mobility Scheme.

The new scheme is fantastic, as it would allow young adults between 18 and 30 to work abroad for up to two years.

The catch: the US hasn't agreed to take part, meaning that any young adult who wants to work in the UK for an extended period won't be able to do so without work sponsorship (which is incredibly hard to get).

Maybe it's the US government's focus on the economy, homeland security, and immigration fears that are keeping them from agreeing to the work exchange, but I think we need to keep this solid bond between the US and UK in tact.

Please sign off on this petition and then spread the word about it in full force so that it can have an impact on our US representatives:
