About the TOMODACHI Summit
We invite all university students and young professional alumni of programs and events managed and funded by the TOMODACHI Initiative since our inception in 2011 to join the TOMODACHI Generation Summit 2018. The annual Summit promotes and deepens the ties between TOMODACHI alumni, and provides alumni a platform to develop future engagements in Japan and the United States. This will be the second time the content of the TOMODACHI Summit is being planned by alumni for alumni of the TOMODACHI Generation. This Summit is made possible by the generous support of The Prudential Foundation, sponsor of the TOMODACHI Alumni Leadership Program.
Since 2011, the TOMODACHI Initiative has grown to provide over 50 programs a year, directly serving over 5,600 individuals. TOMODACHI programs provide experiential, cross-cultural leadership development opportunities for young Japanese and Americans. Through people-to-people connections, TOMODACHI deepens the ties between Japan and the United States. The TOMODACHI Generation Summit will be planned and executed by alumni, highlight activities of alumni, offer leadership opportunities, skills-building workshops, and connect alumni to each other and the larger network of U.S.-Japan Council.

The TOMODACHI Initiative
The TOMODACHI Initiative is a public-private partnership between U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, with support from the government of Japan. Burn out of support for Japan’s recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake, TOMODACHI invests in the next generation of Japanese and American leaders through educational and cultural exchanges as well as leadership programs. The initiative seeks to foster a “TOMODACHI Generation” of young American and Japanese leaders who are committed to and engaged in strengthening U.S.-Japan relations, appreciate each other’s countries and cultures, and possess the global skills and mindsets needed to contribute to and thrive in a more cooperative, prosperous, and secure world.
