Microgrants for Current US JETs

Past Projects

With support from the U.S. Embassy Tokyo, USJETAA has funded over 150 microgrant projects for current US JETs and their Japanese communities. Projects range from English libraries to language acquisition through music to opportunities to enjoy quintessential American sports to STEM projects and beyond. Your imagination and creativity are the limit. Here are a handful of past projects which showcase what some of our amazing US JETs accomplished through this program.

“Sports are such a great way to make friends. And with friendship comes a certain level of comfortability and confidence in trying new things—like speaking English.”

In this update, we had the opportunity to sit down with Adam to discuss his project, his love for American Football, and how the community of Yabu has grown to love football too.
