Volunteering

　At the APCC we need volunteers all year round,. currently there are around 600 volunteers registered with the APCC. The APCC introduces new activities to our program every year and we are always looking for people to help with both new and already established activities.

　 As a volunteer there are a variety of events and activities you can take part in, these activities are outlined in the What is the APCC? section of the website.

●What is an APCC volunteer?
　APCC activities are run almost entirely by our volunteer staff.
Without volunteers who are willing to give up their free time to make the APCC a success year after year, we would not be able to continue with our activities.
　 There are a number of ways that you could take part in the APCC as a volunteer, from helping out in the office to translating documents at home and sending them to us via the internet.
　 To promote international exchange in Fukuoka and the surrounding area we encourage volunteers from all walks of life who are willing to give up some of their free time.

●What kinds of people become APCC volunteers?
During the Invitation Project that takes place in July, around 600 people participate in volunteer activities.
　 These volunteers range from Junior High School students to pensioners.
　 At present most of our volunteers are young people but in order to maintain a balance within the organization we encourage older people to join in with our activities.

●How do I become a volunteer?
　At the APCC we need volunteers all year round. However during the run up to the Invitation Project in July the office becomes very busy and therefore we are unable to take applications for new volunteers during this period.
　 Because we recruit volunteers on an annual basis from September, the period that you will be registered as a volunteer will run until the end of that years' August.
　 If you wish to continue volunteering after September you will need to re-register at the APCC office.
