O-en(/Oh en/) Network
is a non-profit organization, which supports those people who are Japanese,
Japanese heritage, or simply interested in Japan, but live away from
Japan (mainly Washington DC metropolitan area). We would like to offer
some opportunities for you to experience Japanese culture, to maintain and to
expand your previous knowledge and interests in Japan and Japanese.
Main activities are summer camp for young children (with volunteer
opportunities for high school/college students), cultural events such
as fieldtrips, and individual supports to understand different living
styles better. We also offer some educational guidance for children and
their family from Japan, who are not sure about the educational system
in the US as well as bilingual/heritage children.
