Overview:

We are pleased to announce a call for volunteers for the JET Ambassadors Program!

As the brainchild of Ambassador Fujisaki, the JET Ambassadors Program is a volunteer-based program allowing participants to visit local DC and surrounding area schools and share their experiences from Japan through interactive self-designed presentations. The program aims to educate newer generations about Japan and raise international awareness throughout the community, as well as giving former JETs the chance to reconnect with their own experiences.
The main focus of these presentations will be life at a Japanese school, but they will vary from person to person.

The goal is to begin presentations and include all interested schools in the JETAADC area, including the Baltimore Region, Annapolis and the Eastern Shore, Richmond and other points South, and even West Virginia.  So regardless of your distance from D.C., please respond if you are interested!

Each presenter will receive be reimbursed for his or her time and travel.

If you are interested, please respond with the following information.
