Kizuna Internship Summer 2026 – Spring 2027

Kizuna Across Cultures is now accepting applications for our August 2026 – March 2027 internship to assist with our virtual language and culture exchange Global Classmates. University students who are passionate about international youth exchange, US-Japan relations, and Japanese language are a great fit for this unique internship.

Interns work with KAC for 2 semesters (mid-August through early March), 10 hours per week remotely and 2 hours per week in virtual meetings. It is possible for interns to be located outside of Washington, D.C. and still fully participate in the internship.

Interns act as Senpai (similar to a mentor) and engage directly online with the high school students from the US and Japan participating in our virtual language and culture exchange program Global Classmates, so bilingual English/Japanese is necessary. Students taking university 3rd or 4th year Japanese language courses have a sufficient language level to participate in the internship. We accept applications on a rolling basis and will accept them until all openings are filled. Details on how to apply on the flyer below.
