The JET Alumni Association of the United States of America (JETAA USA) is an all-volunteer organization that supports the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Program, its alumni community in the United States, and the US-Japan relationship.

The Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Program

The JET Program hires college graduates to work for anywhere from one to five years as Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) or, sometimes, Sports Exchange Advisors (SEAs), in public schools in Japan, or as Coordinators for International Relations (CIRs) in a variety of settings. For information about the JET Program and on how to apply, please visit the JET Program USA official website.

The JET Alumni Community

The foundation of JETAA USA is its chapters. These provide information and services to alumni as well as being a place to come together to share friendship and camaraderie among people with similar interests and experiences.

 

The best way to become involved with JETAA is to contact your nearest chapter. JETAA USA currently has 19 chapters across the United States, and many of these have local subchapters.
