Program Description

Japan Volunteer Program

Description

The Japanese non-profit organization, World Campus International, Inc. is offering an opportunity to take part in short-term non-traditional educational programs with participants from around the globe in the World Campus - Japan program. Participants can choose to sign up for one or more 2 week programs in different regions of Japan during scheduled tours. While doing so, they have the unique chance to gain international experience as well as increase their personal and professional networks all in the authentic backdrop of Japanese culture, politics and business.

What does having this kind of "unique access to Japan" mean?
1) A great chance to see Japanese cultural sites, eat delicious and exotic local foods and learn about Japanese traditions.
2) A way to experience modern Japan through interactions with local politicians, business people and teachers.
3) An opportunity to share your culture and volunteer your talents in structured activities with ordinary Japanese citizens, school children, disabled people and the elderly.

Our participants experience an authentic Japanese lifestyle by staying with warm and welcoming host families.
