Junior Volunteer Experience Project-With the Consumer Affairs Committee-

With the wish of children, "I want them to nurture compassion and gratitude."

Last Updated June 18, 2024

Business Overview

This project is aimed at 5th and 6th graders in Municipal Elementary Schools (24 schools) in Asahi Ward and participates in welfare activities and community activities.

Every May, the local welfare committee members ask Municipal Elementary Schools in the ward to recruit junior volunteers, and ask each school to organize them.
It is an opportunity to learn about "welfare" and "volunteers" through various activities, and to nurture the "caring" and "gratitude" of everyone who participated. .

This project has been implemented since 2000 by the Asahi Ward Consumer Affairs Committee Children's Committee (hereinafter referred to as the “Minjikyo”). In December 2013, Asahi Ward received the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Award for its contribution to the creation of local communities.

In addition, activities are carried out throughout the region with the cooperation of elementary schools, Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Associations, the Japan National Council of Social Welfare (hereinafter referred to as the "District Shakyo") and welfare facilities.
