USJETAA 2026 Donation Drive
Three years ago, we started the NEXT JET Mentorship program to give departing JETs a place to connect with alumni and current JETs, ask questions, and be better prepared for their transition to Japan on JET. They became a part of the JET family before they even departed.
We’ve seen tremendous growth every year since and 2026 was our biggest cohort yet. More than 500 departing JETs registered for NEXT JET, representing about half of the entire 2026 U.S. JET cohort! If you have been a part of NEXT JET, you know the impact this program has. If you have never been a part of NEXT JET, you can imagine how impactful it would have been to have customized guidance and assurance leading up to your departure!
Help sustain this program for the next generation of JETs through a donation. All individual donations made to USJETAA throughout the month of August will go towards supporting the NEXT JET Mentorship program. Thank you to all our senpai who have given their time and energy to make this program successful thus far- you’ve gotten to watch this program grow right alongside us and we’re incredibly proud of what it has become. If interested, we welcome you to join our 2027 NEXT JET Senpai team.
Consider giving:
$5 for every year you've been a JET alum
$10 for each year you were on JET
If you're now in a position to give more, please do!
You make a difference!!
