Bunac Travel Services Ltd was acquired by STA Travel in 2011, which included the 'BUNAC' brand and all associated work and volunteer abroad programme brand names. Previous to this, the company was owned by the non-profit British Universities North America Club in order to provide work and volunteer programmes for their members. Due to this, the term 'BUNAC' now refers exclusively to STA Travel owned products, and not the non-profit Club. ==History== The British Universities North America Club was founded in 1962 by Christopher Harbour and Martin Truscott. It grew out of the Canada Clubs and North America Clubs at the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge and University of London. It is a not-for-profit members Club and was one of the largest and oldest international work exchange organisations in the UK. During the 1960s, the British Universities North America Club was actively involved in the efforts of Lord Harlech (British Ambassador to the USA 1961-65) to formalise the reciprocal arrangements between the US and the UK to enable students from one of those countries to work in the other. This resulted in the development of the Exchange Visitor Programme (EVP) which allowed degree-level students to work in the USA during their summer vacation and, in 1966, the creation of SEEP (the Student Employment Exchange Program) US to UK programme. SEEP became known as the ''Work in Britain''/Blue Card programme. The US administration of ''Work in Britain'' was originally undertaken by BUNAC’s American partner CIEE until it was taken on completely by BUNAC USA in 1997. BUNAC’s ''Work in Britain'' quickly grew to become the largest outbound work abroad programme from the USA until September 2008 when the 5-Tier Managed Migration restructuring of work-based immigration policy by the Home Office UKBA abolished the concession under which it existed. BUNAC’s long-running ''Work America'' summer programme operates within the US State Department J-1 visa〔http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1267.html〕 Program framework. In 1969 Lord Harlech became Honorary President with The Rt. Hon John Freeman and Senator James William Fulbright as Honorary Vice Presidents. The ''BUNACAMP'' programme was established by John Ball and Howard Crew in 1970. ''BUNACAMP'' (later ''BUNACAMP'' Counsellors and now ''Summer Camp USA'') enables young people to spend a summer working as camp counsellors for American children on a wide range of summer camps. BUNAC’s early involvement with Canada was through a relatively restrictive tobacco picking programme. In 1986, in co-operation with the Canadian High Commission and the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs, BUNAC was authorised to offer a small but much more open ''Work Canada'' programme for students only. This developed into a much larger programme allowing 18- to 30-year-olds to work in Canada for up to a year, which is still offered today as BUNAC's Work Canada programme.〔http://www.bunac.org/uk/work-abroad/work-canada〕 Throughout the 1990s BUNAC expanded the range of work abroad destinations from the UK to include Australia, New Zealand, a ''Teach & Travel China'' Programme, volunteer programmes to South Africa, Ghana, Costa Rica, Peru, Cambodia and, most recently, India. BUNAC did not run their Summer Camp USA programme for the 2013 camp season, however in September 2013 they announced that it will again be running a summer camp program for 2014, this time called Summer Camp Exchange USA.〔http://www.bunac.com/uk/workabroad/summercamp〕 The difference in this new summer camp program is that an applicant needs to have experience in coaching specific skills, so it seems that people can no longer apply to be a general cabin counselor. As of July 2013, BUNAC in the UK currently operate work abroad, summer camp, volunteer and internship programmes to the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China, Thailand, Nepal and South Africa. From the USA, BUNAC operates programs to Great Britain, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand.〔http://www.bunac.com〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BUNAC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
