Children’s Japanese Language Support Group

This group supports children aged 6 to 18 who don’t speak Japanese well to improve their Japanese language skills and schoolwork. Requests for assistance are emailed to registered volunteers who can decide if it suits their schedule before accepting the request. Training seminars are held for volunteers to improve their skills.
