We would like to report that the "Child and Youth Development Support Project - Spreading a Brighter Future for Children through Soccer" was implemented during the 2017 Meiji Yasuda J1 League 5th round match against Sagan Tosu (kickoff at 16:00 at Ajinomoto Stadium) held on April 1st (Saturday).

Junior high school students in Fuchu City

□Implementation Details

Currently, support is being provided to children in impoverished families based on the Act on Support for Independence of Persons with Severe Poverty, including support for learning. On the other hand, it is not only limited to support in the field of learning, but also necessary to provide opportunities for career design education for children to envision their future, foster occupational perspectives, and create mechanisms to provide work experience to complement these.
Continuing from last year, we worked on the "Child and Youth Development Support Project" in collaboration with the certified specified non-profit organization "Ikuage Net" with the slogan "Creating a Future that Spreads to Children through Soccer" to address such social issues.

This time, we wanted the junior high school students in Fuchu City to have an inspiring experience with their friends, so we invited them to watch an FC Tokyo game. We also provided them with an opportunity to explore career design related to soccer beforehand, and on the day of the game, they were able to deepen their learning by observing the various activities of the people working at Ajinomoto Stadium.
