A TOMODACHI Generation regional framework is being created to further alumni engagement, thanks to the TOMODACHI Alumni Leadership Program supported by The Prudential Foundation.

1. Hokkaido-Tohoku

2. Kanto

In every region, we are selecting a Regional Lead, Deputy Regional Lead, and Regional Mentor to support activities and opportunities in the region.
