Volunteer

You can support foreign women in many ways.

Proofreaders

Paruyon’s activities are funded by grants. We need to apply for them regularly. Often the grant applications are written by our foreign members, and we need native Japanese speakers to proofread them before submitting. If you have experience in writing applications or official reports, we would be happy to add you to our volunteers.

Facilitators for meetings and walks

We need meeting facilitators to help us run our meetings smoothly. We need facilitators for “Puhuu” meetings for foreign women to talk about life in Japan both online and offline. We provide training for the facilitators. We also need facilitators for our walking events to plan the walks and make sure that everyone feels included.

Translators into Easy Japanese

If you have any experience translating from standard Japanese into Easy Japanese, or if you are interested in learning, we would love to hear from you.
