About the program
Rikuzentakata, is a small city located on the Sanriku Coastline between Kesenuma and Ofunato in Iwate Prefecture, that was devistated by the Great East Japan Earthquake and its ensuing Tsunami. Despite the fact that the town is essentially gone, as described by it's Mayor, the people of Rikuzentakata are hopeful, and are committed to recovery.
A Message from Futoshi Toba, Mayor of Rikuzentakata in Iwate Prefecture
In summer 2012, the CCCJ's CSR committee went to Rikuzentakata to discuss inviting high school students to Tokyo for internships. The idea was met with great enthusiasm and the program resulted in internships and homestays for 11 to 14 students every March. In 2018, the CCCJ aims to invite 15 students for internships.
