Veronica, Saga・ 佐賀

Hi! I’m Veronica from Toronto, Canada.

Currently a Saga City JET. My favourite place in the prefecture is Niji-no-Matsubara because of the forest/beach combo and mountains nearby.

As AJET, I hope to host events that help both me and others get to know Saga’s charms. Hopefully they can also be a place for incoming JETs to make new connections ✮ ｡°✩

Since Saga is fairly small in terms of area and numbers, our AJET chapter is kept straightforward—with no need for a committee, constitution, or any of the complexity you might find in larger prefectures!

As with all prefectural AJET chapters, the Saga AJET role is not recognised officially by National AJET; it is separate, although has broadly similar aims to the national association.

Do you want this job?

The ideal Saga AJET representative is someone who is enthusiastic, socially-connected, highly involved within the community, and keen to maintain and promote the social network we have established. Through their leadership and work, JETs should have opportunities to see more parts of Saga they might not otherwise visit.

The new Saga AJET is chosen annually by the outgoing representative after seeking expressions of interest, and announced along with the new District Representatives at the Winter JET Conference in January. The term of the role is one year, from April to March.

Being the Saga AJET rep can be a lot of work and a challenge at times, but it is incredibly enjoyable and also very fulfilling when you see other JETs and friends have a great time together at the events you have organised.
