FAQ

You cannot withdraw your offer after it has been decided (it is a condition of your application that you must participate in all training sessions and be able to participate during the dispatch period).

We will inform you of the destination(country) in the notification of selection of delegation's members and Chaperons sent after the selection process.

You can participate in it, but the role of the Chaperon is completely different from that of the delegation's members, so the content of the information session will be different from that of the members. Also, the information session for the Chaperon is for adults, so the content may be difficult for children. Please participate in the member information session as much as possible.

You can apply even if you live in another prefecture. However, since APCC is an NPO and operates with subsidies from Fukuoka Prefecture and Fukuoka City, priority will be given to children residing in Fukuoka Prefecture if we receive a large number of applications. In addition, we will hold multiple training sessions in Fukuoka City, so those who can participate in all of them face-to-face are eligible.

We are very sorry, but it is not possible to participate in the same delegation.

The content of the assignments varies depending on the year, but for reference, the assignments for the Spring 2024 dispatch are as follows.

Even if you do not have English proficiency, you are welcome to join as a BCJ member and participate in our activities.

Membership in BCJ (BC Japan), an alumni organization in Japan, is open to those who have participated in one of the following programs/projects operated by APCC and are in fifth grade or above at the time of membership. Those who have experience participating in an invitation-type program (those who have experienced being a host friend at BRIDGE Summer Camp and also having experience at an exchange camp such as FUKUOKA KIDS or Waku Waku Kids), those who have experience participating in a dispatch-type program (those who have experienced a Mission Project or BRIDGE Challenge Trip), those who have participated in nurturing project those who have experienced the Wing Kids Program or the Global BRIDGE Leader Action Program (GBLAP). Additionally, you will need to register as a member, so if you would like to join, please contact the APCC office.

The volunteer registration briefing session and the actual registration procedure will all be conducted in Japanese. Additionally, all meetings in each devision and actual volunteer activities will be conducted in Japanese. Therefore, if you are unable to speak and write with a daily conversation level that does not interfere with daily life, we are afraid that registering is not allowed.

Medical volunteers require practical care such as treating the injured and sick people, so unless you are a qualified person, you will not be able to register.
