Join JETAA Chicago's 2025 Survival Series!

Welcome to the JET community!

On Thursday, June 26th, the 11th annual Survival Series kicks-off! To support the newest members of our community, JETAA Chicago is organizing a variety of events to help Outgoing JETs prepare for your time in Japan by building connection with each other and your sempai here in the midwest!

These are opportunities for new JETs to share concerns, ask questions and build community with the people who have been in your position before. So pick our brains for insight into life on the JET program and let's get excited for the journey to come!
