Japan Center for International Exchange (JCIE USA)

The Japan Center for International Exchange (JCIE USA) is an independent, nonpartisan, nongovernmental, nonprofit organization founded in 1975. With staff in New York and Washington DC, we work as a boutique policy organization focused on US-Japan relations.

Our mission is to facilitate US-Japan collaboration in areas of mutual interest and need. We specialize in bringing together current and emerging leaders from both countries to promote mutual learning and drive policy impact on issues critical to the two countries as global partners. Through study tours and other exchange initiatives, our programs facilitate solutions-oriented dialogues on issues ranging from shared societal challenges to global concerns.

1) Legislative Exchanges (Legislators and Staff); 2) Health and Healthy Aging; and 3) Policy Research and Dialogues

JCIE USA provides part-time internship opportunities for university students and recent graduates every quarter. The majority of JCIE USA’s programming, including webinars and in-person roundtables, are free and open to the public.
