The JET Program, sponsored by the Japanese government, is currently seeking two qualified coaches (one for baseball and one for basketball) to serve as Sports Exchange Advisors (SEA) in Japan, engaging with Japanese youth to promote cultural exchange through their sport.

Currently the JET Program is seeking candidates for a Baseball Sports Exchange Advisor and a Basketball Sports Exchange Advisor for Niigata Prefecture, Japan. Target students will be nursery through junior high school. Single occupancy housing is available for each advisor.
