Japan ranks as the 4th largest trading partner of the United States,behind Canada, China, and Mexico. Despite this fact, many of Americans have little knowledge and awareness of Japan, its culture and significance and contributions to the United States and the rest of the

To address this issue, The Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership (CGP) and The Laurasian Institution (TLI) designed the Japan Outreach Initiative (JOI). This program offers a grassroots opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of Japan by sending Japanese individuals to Southern and Midwestern host sites as volunteer staff doing community outreach activities about Japan.<\/p>\n
