Program Details

🧒 About Our School
We welcome children aged 6 to 15 years old (elementary & junior high).
Our mission is to nurture kids who:
🌟 Believe in themselves
🌟 Think freely
🌟 Grow without being limited by traditional systems

About guest house;
We have hosted many people from all over the world. We are in the middle of Nagoya and Osaka. Less touristic area, yet interesting people are coming.

Why we need volunteers?
I am not good at decorating and express my feelings.

We are an open-minded, flexible school where kids interact with people from all over the world 🌍

🍽️ Meals are part of the experience:
Breakfast: ingredients provided 🥐
Lunch: cooked & shared with the kids (often outdoors!) 🌿
Dinner: prepared together with the host family 🍲

🏡 Accommodation
You’ll stay in your own private room in a cozy guesthouse just across the street 🛏️✨

💛 Why Join Us?
This is more than volunteering — it’s a chance to:
🌏 Experience authentic rural life
👫 Connect with a local community
🎨 Be part of a creative, alternative education project
✨ Make a real impact on children’s lives
If you love kids, culture, and meaningful experiences… we can’t wait to meet you! 💫


Activities & Shift

5 hours/day 5 days a week or 4hours/day 6 days a week.
Depending on weather and amount of volunteers at a time.
The work start and finish times depend on the season (to avoid the hottest times of the day in summer).


Rules

Help maintain cleanliness and order in the school spaces.
Help us save energy and water.
Please buy your own personal items such as shampoo, soap, snacks, and drinks.
Keep common spaces clean: do not leave your belongings in shared areas, wash dishes after meals, remove hair after showering, keep your room tidy and separate garbage properly.
Keep noise levels low after 10:00 p.m.
Be kind and respectful to other guests staying in the guesthouse.
