Yes there is - just google BUNAC, they do working holiday visas for people aged up to 30, and the US is among their destinations.
Hope that helps.

Re: Traveling in the USA
Not really, they do educational exchange programs. Unless they changed it, if you aren't at university or have just graduated you need to be going to do some sort of work experience program that has a clearly, pre-approved training, not a working holiday. If you are a student then you can get a limited time visa (3-4 months generally) for any job. It may have changed recently but that was my experience with BUNAC.

J-1 visa is the only option. There are restrictions though.
