We are always grateful when volunteers take time to come visit the souls 特定非営利活動法人You Me We NPO support.

This week Saya Nomura and QuHarrison paid a visit and brought baseballs for the children and autographed them.

We then moved to assemble robots, which were donated by Goodera.

The robots were disassembled on purpose. At first the children wondered, "What is the assignment"..then "OH NO, they are broken" and then it sunk in....we need to reassemble to play with these and the teamwork fell into place.

By the end of the night the robots were brought to life.

Just 2 hours. That's all it takes to change a young person's trajectory.

Every Tuesday, our volunteers connect from Japan to Manila, helping youth in institutional care prepare for their English exams. These aren't just study sessions - they're building blocks for futures filled with possibility.

When you volunteer consistently for 2 hours each week, you're doing more than teaching grammar and vocabulary. You're showing up as a mentor, a cheerleader, and proof that someone believes in their potential. These young people are preparing for life after 18, and your support directly impacts their career readiness and confidence.

Week after week, exam after exam, you're helping them build the essential skills they need to thrive. The impact is real, immediate, and lasting.

Ready to make a difference? Sign up to volunteer with us. With 17 years of proven impact, we know that consistent support transforms lives - and it starts with just 2 hours of your time.

Your future student is waiting.

This week we celebrate World Teachers' Day, and we're reminded that teaching truly takes a village (Featuring stickers our students made this week)

For 17 years, YouMeWe volunteers have been part of something extraordinary - a collaborative teaching community that bridges Japan, Brazil and the Philippines. Every week, our dedicated tutors provide online English instruction and exam preparation to children in institutional care, helping them build the skills they need for life after 18.

What makes our program special isn't just the weekly sessions or the English exam prep - it's the genuine connections formed across borders. Our volunteers don't just teach; they become mentors, cheerleaders, and proof that someone believes in these young people's futures.

The dedication required is real, but so is the impact. When you show up consistently for a child who needs support, you're not just teaching English - you're teaching them that they matter.

Ready to join our teaching village? We have volunteer opportunities that fit your schedule and make a real difference in young lives.

Sign up for our upcoming volunteer events and become part of 17 years of continuous support that's changing futures, one lesson at a time
