【Call for Participation! ] About “Youth x NPO Exchange Meeting ~Iwate Regional Contribution Internship~ (held on 12/11)”

Iwate Student Volunteer Network.

We will be holding the “Youth x NPO Exchange Meeting – Iwate Regional Contribution Internship” again this year!

Young people in Iwate Prefecture, would you like to find various forms of "local contribution" and ways of working?

For example, do you have problems like this?

▶Looking for an internship for winter and spring break!
▶I want to have an experience that will lead to "gakuchika/self-promotion" for going to higher education or finding a job!
▶I'm interested in contributing to the community and building the city, but I don't know how I can get involved or if there's a way to work…

As a place to resolve such concerns, we will hold the "Youth x NPO Exchange Meeting – Iwate Regional Contribution Internship".

At the "Youth x NPO Matching Exchange Meeting," we not only create connections between young people at the venue and NPOs, but also after the meeting.
① After the exchange meeting, the secretariat will provide follow-up between the applicant and the host organization !
② For those who wish to participate in the activity, we will subsidize the transportation expenses to the activity location !

Even if this is your first time in a place like this, we welcome you.
Of course, everyone who wants to be proactive is also welcome.

For details, please see the overview below.
