Challenge Trip Leader Recruitment
Challenge Trip
Spring 2026,Go out into the world as a chaperone to support children's challenges!
Chaperones can also broaden their own potential and take on a variety of challenges.
What is a Bridge Challenge Trip Leader?
Chaperones are volunteers, university students and above, who accompany the Fukuoka children participating in the Challenge Trip and support their daily lives and activities while they are abroad. Chaperones play an important role in supporting the children from the preparation stage, organizing and implementing training before departure so that they can take on the challenge with peace of mind. While on-site, they manage safety and provide health support, and also pay attention to minor concerns in daily life, helping the children to focus on special experiences such as intercultural exchange and homestays. Chaperones are not simply companions; they are close confidants for the children, supporting them as they take on challenges and grow.
The charm of the leader
★You can develop yourself
On a Challenge Trip, two to three chaperones work together to organize a group of approximately 15 elementary to high school students and safely escort them to their destination. They also provide training before and after the trip, where they stay close to the children, watch over them, and monitor their growth. It's up to the chaperones to decide what kind of group they'll create with these unique children! It's a chance to actively interact with the children and other volunteers and develop yourself.
★Watch your children grow up close and personal
Many of the children will be leaving their parents and going overseas for the first time, and some delegation members will depart Japan with tears in their eyes. These delegation members will gain a variety of experiences through local homestays and exchange programs, and will grow greatly. The interaction between the chaperones and delegation members will continue even after the project ends. This is a chance to continue watching the growth of the children who have gained a valuable opportunity through the Challenge Trip.
★You'll have the chance to visit countries that you can't visit on a regular trip.
Some of the countries and regions that you will be sent to, such as Bhutan, Mongolia, and Tonga, are difficult to reach on your own. The local contact point is a public institution with a long history of exchange with APCC, so you can rest assured that you will be able to lead your group in any country or region.
