The Japan in the Schools program is a unique program that brings Japanese education into classrooms in Western PA. Education Outreach Coordinator Katsuko Shellhammer guides the visits with teams of volunteers, so you can participate even if you're new to Japanese culture or if English is your second language. With many visits each school year, this is our largest volunteer opportunity. As of 2015, all school volunteers are required to have background checks. Please visit our website to learn more about the program. Once you have expressed your interest (by selecting "Sign Up") you will also need to confirm your interest at following the link: registration form, you will be included in scheduling emails to volunteer as your schedule allows.

Japan in the Schools Volunteer
Be a Homework Helper for Elementary Students!
Our organization seeks to serve the kids of Crafton Heights and surrounding communities. One way to do that is by providing a safe space for completing homework! The "Homework Help" After School Program is open to kids in Kindergarten through 5th grade. We are looking for volunteers to be the "Help" for the students we see!
Prep Our Site for Fall Programs!
We are excited for our fall programs to begin, but since we just wrapped up a 6 week summer camp for 97 kids, we need to clean, organize, and reset! This is an opportunity best for teams of people who love to find order in the chaos and care about kids having safe spaces to learn, grow, and be loved!
