High School Study Abroad in Nagano, Japan

Join GoEco in a small, traditional village in Nagano, Japan! Famous for hosting the 1993 Winter Olympics, the area of Nagano has seen a growth in tourists. Many members of the community wish to improve their English language speaking skills. Volunteers on this program will meet members at a local community center and practice speaking with them in a casual, comfortable way. In addition to these tasks, volunteers will take part in cultural activities throughout each week. On their first Monday, volunteers will take an introductory Japanese language class and have a culture lesson. Weekly cultural activities range from sushi and origami-making lessons to visiting the nearby hot springs! In addition to these activities, depending on availability, volunteers may have the opportunity to live with a local family during their placement
