Resources
Whether you're building a career in Japan, navigating life as a foreigner, or figuring out your next move, you're not starting from scratch. This is where JETAA Tokyo members share what they know — practical advice, honest experience, and resources for making the most of life in Japan.
Global Picnic Language Exchange
an initiative by Luke Baldwin (Kumamoto, 2021-2023)
A language exchange event born in Kumamoto and now thriving in Tokyo — great for anyone wanting to practice Japanese, meet like-minded people, or just recapture that grassroots exchange feeling we all miss from our JET days.

Positive Global Learning
founded by Marti Deyo, Ph.D. (Aomori, 2004–2009)
A nonprofit supporting JET participants and alumni at every stage — from application prep to life in Japan to navigating what comes after. Great for those just starting their JET journey or figuring out what's next once it ends.
