About the project

Yasuoka (Nagano)

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Organized together with Green Wood (GW) since 2007. GW is a local NPO established in 1993 to promote education of children by experience in nature. They run a school for students from cities, first aid classes, kids exchange projects in the northeast Asia and various types of children’s nature experience camps for community planning. They have many staff members and also short term volunteers (for several days), but need a few longer term volunteers to run the summer program stably.

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteer will assist to run various types of 3-10 days children’s summer camps such as playing with kids, managing safety, food and other stuffs, helping kids to cook, preparing and cleaning the places. We will be separated to each program to work with local staff, so don’t expect to be there as a group.
