Japan offers diverse opportunities for volunteer work and non-paid internships in childcare and education. At a "Free School" in Kyoto, you'll support children's learning in a relaxed, competition-free environment. Alternatively, in Tokyo, you can help out at an after-school care center, an international preschool, or an international kindergarten.
The program takes place with a leading sea turtle conservation organization on the subtropical island of Okinawa, Japan. From April to July, you support nightly beach patrols to document nesting activity. In August and September, you assist with the hatching of baby turtles. Year-round, you contribute to beach cleanups, environmental education, fundraising, and data analysis.
Sur l'île de Sado, dans l'ouest du Japon, vous pouvez travailler avec des volontaires japonais et internationaux pour aider à protéger l'environnement et vous immerger dans la culture rurale japonaise traditionnelle. Vous séjournerez dans des tentes meublées situées dans le jardin d'un temple historique et participerez à un programme quotidien d'activités.
