Program Details
Welcome to our small educational home in Tochigi, Japan. We provide art and English programs for children and teenagers. We hope to create a warm, friendly environment where everyone can learn from each other through art, English, and cultural exchange.
Activities & Shift
Volunteers help about 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. Tasks may include joining children's art and English activities, simple English conversation, preparing art materials, helping with clean-up, sharing your culture and daily life from your home country, and some light household tasks such as simple kitchen help and keeping shared areas tidy.
Rules
Please be kind, respectful, and responsible. Please do not exchange private contact information with students or take photos of them without permission. Keep shared spaces clean, and please let us know if you need any help. Please understand that we are not fluent in English, so we may sometimes use a translation app to communicate. We hope you enjoy living together with our family and students.
