Kyoto City Youth Activity Centers Volunteer Programme

The Kyoto City Youth Service Association recruits young volunteers for the seven Kyoto City Youth Activity Centers and its outreach base, with activities spanning community work, place-making, cleaning, creative expression, recreation, participation projects and multicultural coexistence; the association says about 800 young people take part each year. The official condition states that participants must be young people (from junior-high age up to 30) who live in Kyoto City or attend school or work in the city; no nationality condition is stated. Apply directly to the centre whose activity interests you, or send the seven-item form on the association's page (name, age, contacts, school or city residence/workplace, preferred activity and reason) and staff will reply; an activity certificate is available on request.
