Celebrate spring on Saturday, April 25th at 5:00 PM ET by learning how to make Salmon Takikomi Gohan, Miso Broccolini, and Mitarashi Dango.

Whether you're mid-contract, freshly off JET, currently navigating life in Japan or an alum considering returning, you're not alone. More JET alums than ever are choosing to put down roots in Japan, but the reality of making that work? Not always talked about openly.

That's exactly what this series is for. Throughout April, USJETAA and JETAA Tokyo offer a 3-part series covering key aspects of living and working in Japan post-JET. Join one or all discussions in the series. We’ve got you.

Join us on Tues, April 21 at 7pm ET / Wed, April 22 at 8am JT to explore pathways into Japanese language education, from credentialing and certification to navigating careers in K-12 and higher education.

If you don't believe in destiny, then you should join the JET Program.

Through my years on JET and in my alumni life after, I have heard countless stories of chance meetings, coincidental connections, and life changing opportunities. Perhaps this isn't destiny- perhaps it is community in action.

Valerie, like many of us, stepped into her small JET town where she often heard students muttering “I can’t read this!” “This is Japan, I don’t know why we’re learning English.” But what she was able to create with a microgrant from USJETAA was nothing less than a reading revolution in her community of students. Want the full JET ALT warm fuzzies? Read her story!
