English + Volunteering

(Volunteer Programs)

Language Study Abroad + Volunteer Program.

The greatest strength of this program lies in its ability to help you apply the English you’ve learned at school and make a meaningful contribution to society. This volunteer program not only shares information through social media but also involves participants in local events and volunteer activities at welfare support organizations. This hands-on engagement allows you to interact with local people and experience real American life in ways that a typical study abroad program cannot offer.

Recommended for:
  • Students who want to venture overseas (even beginners can participate).
  • Students are interested in cross-cultural experiences and American culture.
  • Students who want to enhance their English skills through volunteer activities.
