Community Service

FEW and its Community Service Committee has for the past decade served the Tokyo community at large and enabled FEW members to explore and utilize their skills for the benefit of others. Its mission is to organize, support and facilitate community and charitable activities in Tokyo.

Raising money for non-profit-organizations has been a large part of our work. Supported NPO’s are Japan-based and conduct Japan-focused activities. Many of the organizations FEW supports work with women and children.

Money raising activities in the past have included walkathons, BBQs, Halloween Trick or Treat and Christmas Charity Collections. FEW also promotes environmental awareness within the community and has in the past helped organize beach clean-ups in the Tokyo area.

To help facilitate this work, FEW has been publishing a Volunteering Directory since 1995 where those who are interested in volunteering in the Tokyo Area can find plenty of information. In its last edition more than 80 organizations that welcome volunteer help are listed. You can also find out more about some aspects of volunteering.
