How to Volunteer

The experience of volunteering allows for an exchange of culture and creates social contact between international volunteers and local people in the community. It enables people to learn new skills and languages and to develop leadership and teamwork skills. Beyond this, there is personal development, which is one of the greatest benefits to working with people from different cultures.
We have created a wonderful connection between the foreign and Japanese community with the fantastic children of Nagoya’s orphanages. Join Us Today.

To volunteer in any organization takes dedication of time and effort! With SFN, the true satisfaction of volunteering is hearing the laughter and seeing the smiles of the children of the orphanages.
Why Volunteer?
Through volunteer service with SFN, you use your own life experiences and skills to help others in the community - most importantly, the orphans. Santa and Friends fosters the chance to overcome a tendency to sometimes want to take, and allows us the wonderful chance to give back to society, to open our hearts, to share with others.
This experience has connected me to a whole new world in Japan.
