Join CWAJ
By becoming a member of the College Women’s Association of Japan, you’ll join a network of women from more than 25 nations, including Japan, who engage in volunteer service that supports women, children, and people with visual impairments. Our primary mission is the provision of scholarships, which are funded by donations and proceeds from the CWAJ Print Show, an exhibition and sale of contemporary Japanese print art.
CWAJ is a 100% volunteer organization composed of students, professional women, mothers, and retirees who engage in meaningful volunteer projects, participate in cross-cultural events, and make friendships with women from around the world. We’re looking forward to you joining our vibrant international community!
