Volunteer Program

The Japan Foundation Volunteer Program is open to committed individuals who have an interest in Japanese culture and cultural exchange (between Australia and Japan) and who wish to gain experience working in a unique cross-cultural environment. Knowledge of Japanese is not necessary, however will be beneficial. Conversational English is a basic requirement for most volunteer tasks.
