On 4/2 (Sat), in the 2016 Meiji Yasuda J1 League 1st Stage 5th round match against Nagoya Grampus (16:00 kickoff/Ajinomoto Stadium), we implemented the "Children and Youth Development Support Project - Creating a Future for Children through Soccer" and would like to report as follows:
 

□ Co-hosted
FC Tokyo, Certified Specified Nonprofit Corporation Ikuteage Net

□ Sponsor
Fuchu City

□ Target
Junior high school students in Fuchu City

□ Implementation details
Currently, support for learning and other forms of assistance is being provided to children from impoverished families based on the Act on Support for Independence of Needy Persons. On the other hand, it is necessary to go beyond such support in the area of learning and provide mechanisms for career design education that looks to the future, fostering a vocational perspective, and offering opportunities for work experience to complement these efforts.
We have worked on the "Child and Youth Development Support Project" in collaboration with the certified specified non-profit organization "Ikuage Net" with the slogan "Expanding the future for children through soccer" to address such social issues.

　This time, we invited junior high school students from Fuchu City to have an inspiring experience with their friends. We invited them to watch an FC Tokyo match and provided them with an opportunity to explore career design related to soccer. On the day of the match, at Ajinomoto Stadium, they had a work experience (cleaning the spectator seats) and a stadium tour. We also conducted a workplace tour for the people working there.
