With this in mind, the jcawf decided to establish multiple projects which, by supporting japanese education in the Washington dc metropolitan area in various ways, together provide opportunities for young americans to learn about japan and its culture, fostering interest in japanese language study, and ultimately providing these youths with opportunities to consider careers that utilize their japanese language skills.
