The Chubu Children's Fund

The Chubu Children’s Fund - established by the ACCJ Chubu Chapter in 2016 - provides funding and support for projects that empower, educate, and inspire children, residing in foster homes in the Chubu area, so they may become productive, motivated members of society when they move out on their own.

The key aspects of the " Catalyst Program " are based around:

Leadership Camps
Mentoring Program
Technology Assistance

With the skills and empowerment gained, participants will be further supported through:

Scholarship Program
Internships and Jobs

Leadership Camps

Participating children begin their journey with growth and leadership camps tailored to the needs of each of three age groups (elementary, junior & senior high school).

Camps for each age group typically take place from one to three times a year, and vary in length from weekend retreats to week-long adventures. Not merely fun and games, inspirational, meaningful yet fun activities with members, councilors, speakers etc., provide the potential for life-changing experiences.

Mentoring Program

The leadership camps will provide a spring board for a mentoring program with leaders from the local business community. This program may consist of monthly phone calls, emails, or other forms of communication including a monthly or bi-monthly face to face meeting.

Mentoring programs help foster long-lasting, meaningful relationships with kids that typically lead to a better future for each protege in the program.

Technology Assistance

A sound base of computer/technology skills is considered paramount to employability and simply functioning in daily life. With the help of partnering child-care facilities and orphanages, we develop a technology plan for each location based on specific needs and funding available.

Scholarship Program

Once children have progressed through the Catalyst Program, they become eligible for a scholarship when they are ready to leave the home and move out into the world on their own. The Chubu Children's Fund can provide scholarships that would assist qualifying participants when they chose to go on to higher education.

Internships and Jobs

As the children move through the system, and become young adults, the final step in our program is to provide them with opportunities for jobs or internships.
