Descubra Nikkei é um projeto do Museu Nacional Japonês Americano, possibilitado pelo generoso apoio da Nippon Foundation.
Descubra Nikkei é uma rede internacional cujo objetivo é celebrar a diversidade cultural e explorar o conceito de identidade tanto na esfera local quanto mundial. Este projeto une gerações e comunidades através do intercâmbio de histórias e perspectivas dos nikkeis, indivíduos de descendência japonesa que emigraram e se estabeleceram em outras partes do mundo.
Thank you for your interest in helping us grow Discover Nikkei! We have a very limited budget to run this project and so we depend on volunteers to help us with all aspects of the site as well as related virtual programs and promotion. Language support is needed in English, Japanese, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Volunteer opportunities include:
Most Discover Nikkei volunteers work remotely and communication and coordination is primarily done through e-mail or through Slack. All volunteers must be able to communicate in writing and verbally in basic English, although Japanese and Spanish can be accommodated as secondary languages.
You do not need to be a professional in the area that you are volunteering. Many of our volunteers are students or others wanting to gain experience, while others just want the opportunity to learn about new topics, contribute to the documentation and exploration of global Nikkei history and culture, and connect with Nikkei around the world. However, volunteers must demonstrate proficiency in the area of work. Writers/editors/translators must submit samples that demonstrate fluency and skill in the language they will be writing/translating into.

We are near capacity in some areas. Please see below for the types of volunteers in most need:
We are not currently accepting volunteers under 18 years old, and prefer those who can make a commitment of at least one year. We are also currently not in need of transcribers in English, marketing, or graphic design (although that may change in the future).
If you are interested in joining our team, please fill out our online volunteer application form. If you have questions, contact us at editor@DiscoverNikkei.org.
Note: We will be adding more details about volunteer opportunities soon.
