Description
At Nobiru-kai, we believe newcomers have a bright future in the United States, they just need adequate supports and guidance for adjusting to a new life. With providing supports for those new comers who are facing the issues, Nobiru-kai plays a crucial role to provide the place where they can be educated about the new environment and introducing the available resources in the community.
Even though here are some organizations, serving Japanese-speaking population in Bay Area, in Oakland, and San Francisco, the Nobiru-kai is a unique one. Since the Japanese-speaking people we serve are really diverse from the students through the permanent residents. This richness in the population is able to create a "hotspot" where people can get together and exchange information etc.
