For Corporate

Bringing your expertise
to teen learning.

Sponsorship and donations, CSR and CSV partnerships, materials, goods and venues — we welcome any partnership that runs through the work itself. Your expertise raises the quality of what teenagers learn, directly.

What We Do

What we can do with companies, foundations and organizations

So far: Duskin Co., Ltd. (cooperation in the development of the Osouji-tai cleanup education curriculum), among others.

Corporate

For companies and foundations

What we can do: Developing a curriculum together, tie-ins with CSR and next-generation programs, sponsorship and grants, and your people joining as instructors or mentors.

For example: Outreach classes using the cleanup education curriculum developed with the cooperation of Duskin Co., Ltd. The company lends its expertise; the planning and running are done by students.

NPO / Community

For nonprofits and community organizations

What we can do: Planning events together, joining community occasions, exchanging what we each know about youth participation, and helping each other get the word out.

For example: Membership of the Japan Youth Conference and JYPS; speaking at the Adachi 100-Person Meeting; exchanges with the Toronto Youth Cabinet in Canada.

Why Support

So that teenagers keep getting to practice democracy.

We are not asking for sponsorship and donations so we can grow and turn a profit.This is what it costs to keep opening, next year and the year after, a place where teenagers experience real democracy. Hands-on civic education only happens once the documents are written, the materials are bought, and people have physically traveled there. Unless someone carries that, it runs on money out of the executive director's and a few members' own pockets, thins out, and eventually stops.

MATERIALS

Materials

Election bulletins, worksheets, ballot papers, and the equipment for the cleanup class. Anything a participant takes home is a direct cost.

OPERATION

Running the day

Setting up and clearing the venue, photographing the record, guiding participants. The costs that hold one event together and are hardest to see.

TRAVEL

Travel

The work happens where the schools and the municipalities are. There is a limit to how far high school and university students can keep traveling at their own expense.

DEVELOPMENT

Developing materials and training

Getting the program into a form another region can pick up, and training the students who will run it. The furthest-reaching investment toward 47 prefectures by 2030.

Everything given goes to running the organization and developing the materials.Fees from schools and municipalities are treated the same way. The breakdown, and what we did with the support given through the 2026 crowdfunding campaign, are published on the section below.

Use of Support

Where your support goes.

This is run by high school and university students. Sponsorship and support follow the categories we published for the 2026 crowdfunding, and go to delivering and developing both pillars of our work.

1. Running the Mock Ward Mayoral ElectionVenue and equipment, printing on the day (running orders, certificates), display panels, and the consumables it takes to run it.
2. Running Osouji-taiDeveloping the cleanup curriculum, and the equipment and panels needed on the day.
3. Delivering outreach classesMaterials for civic education — markers, poster paper — and seminar fees for developing the program.
4. The general meeting and supporter gatheringsVenue, refreshments, documents and basic equipment for the general meeting and for gatherings with the people who have supported us.
5. Administration and day-to-day costsExhibitions, new programs, printing, keeping this website going — the basic running costs underneath everything.
