Volunteer Application to participate (USA)
Registration is now OPEN for AOS (Ashita Ohanashi Sessions) – Short Program and Long Program.
Short Program
The Short Program is divided into three Periods:
-
November–December
-
January–February
-
March–April
You may choose only one period or multiple periods 30 minutes each, starting the week of November 3, 2026.
When registering, you may select:
-
(a) your preferred period or periods (Please indicate which period(s) you would like to join)
-
(b) your preferred day of the week
-
(c) your preferred session starting time between 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm
Sessions will not be held during school breaks or exam periods.
Long Program
The Long Program runs from November through April (excluding school breaks and exam periods)
Joining the Long Program is equivalent to enrolling in all three Short Program periods. A key advantage is that you will be paired with the same partner throughout the entire period. (Please note: Long Program session start times are limited to 5:30 PM or 6:00 PM EST.)
If you choose the Short Program, partner availability is not guaranteed for every period, though we will do our best to find a match.
