Can I do work trade?

 To apply for work trade, you need to live within 100 miles of Providence, RI. Work trade needs to be completed before the hours can be used as payment. This requires pre-planning and starting your work trade 6-8 months before the program begins. Work trade for level 1 is only available between the months of April – November.  Therefore, you need to start your work trade in April to apply them to the October- March winter program. Work traders need to go through an interview, have references and have their own transportation, and live in Rhode Island. Check out our work-trade page here.
