Why We Welcome Japanese Volunteers
-A special message for school staff and prospective host families-
"I've been at Yukon Elementary for 21 years now as the School Staff Assistant.
I have been hosting LCE USA students since about 2013.
It's been a good experience for me as well as I hope for my guests.
I think the students really enjoy the interaction with the little children and the teachers.
The Yukon staff is happy to have the students and will engage in conversations during our lunch time on occasion."
