What is JOI?
Delta State University offers Mississippi communities on-site workshop opportunities and presentations to learn Japanese culture as one of the host sites of JOI program from 2022 to 2024. The Japan Outreach Initiative (JOI) Program aims to promote awareness and understanding of Japan by bringing volunteer Japanese coordinators to regions of the U.S. where Japanese culture has been less accessible. Coordinators are hosted by U.S. nonprofits and educational institutions with a strong commitment to promoting Japanese culture.
