Working with the community

Rooted in Sagamihara, working with the local community

Alongside the five programs, we work with local government, schools, and community groups, and with companies and organizations.

Local government, schools & community

Registered as a Sagamihara SDGs Partner
Held an event with the support of Sagamihara City (Sept 2026)
Delivered a special international understanding class at a junior high school in Sagamihara
Spoke at the invitation of the Sagamihara Citizen Activity Support Center (Feb 2026)
Exhibited at a citizens' festival in Sagamihara for the first time (Sept 2026)

For companies & organizations

We create places where international employees and the Japanese colleagues who welcome them can meet as equals outside work — in-house exchange programs, cross-cultural events, sponsorships, and local partnerships (first consultation free). We do not provide job placement services.
