[International] Volunteer Program in Japan

[Jenna Graff <graff@uwosh.edu>]

Dear International Listserv Member:

If you have an interest in Japan and you're available during the summer,
please take a look at the following opportunity.

USA Summer Camp in Japan

USA Summer Camp is an English language program for Japanese students,
kindergarden age through college. Each summer Guy Healy, Japan, a
culture-exchange consulting agency based in Nagasaki and Fukuoka, Japan,
recruits qualified high school and college students from the United
States to work as "American camp counselors" (AC's) in Japan as
part of the USA Summer Camp program. The AC's stay in Japan for six to
seven weeks, depending on the assignment. During this period, AC's work
with Japanese students on a variety of English language skills and
participate in recreation activities, have meals together and interact
through a variety of social activities. AC's also spend part of their
stay with Japanese host families and/or in hotels or hostels.

With the exception of the Nagasaki team of AC's, most teams will arrive
in early July and stay in Japan for 6-7 weeks. When camp is not in
session, GHJ will set up host family stays for the ACs. Each team
typically runs about 8-9 three-day camp sessions throughout the duration
of the summer. 

In compensation for working as counselors, Guy Healy, Japan covers air
travel to/from Japan, room and board for selected applicants.  The
application process is competitive.
