Youth Exchange Program
Building the next generation of connection between Southern California and Hiroshima Prefecture.
Connecting Our Youth to Their Heritage
The Hiroshima Youth Exchange Program invites young members of our community to deepen their connection to Hiroshima Prefecture and take an active role in the future of the Kenjin-Kai. It's an opportunity for the next generation to build lasting relationships, engage in meaningful cultural exchange, and carry forward the traditions that have shaped our community for over a century.
We're looking for young members who are curious, engaged, and excited to help shape what the Hiroshima Kenjin-Kai of Southern California looks like for years to come — both here at home and through exchange with Hiroshima itself.
