Mission Statement
What is Support Kids Japan (SKJ) ？
NPO Support Kids Japan was born out of a need to teach basic Japanese language as an important communication tool to children being settled here without opportunities to learn Japanese language before coming to Japan.
SKJ opened our doors as an NPO on 3rd December 2012 with an overwhelming response and need from the community. SKJ is supporting such children to be young member of community promptly through our teaching method based on correct and practical Japanese language program. Emphasis is placed on a positive, singlehanded and caring environment that encourages children to reach their full potential.
We believe that every child is a flower waiting to blossom, and we will ensure that their seeds of greatness are realized.
SKJ is supported by members and volunteers who teach and support such children with the SKJ’s spirit.
