The mission of the United States JETAA (USJETAA) is to provide support and resources to Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme (JET) alumni chapters and individual JET alumni throughout the United States in order to strengthen the capacity of the JETAA network, enabling alumni to contribute to the greater U.S.-Japan relationship and ‘bring Japan home’ by fostering education and understanding of Japanese culture in the United States.

USJETAA is an independent, self-sustaining 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization that serves as a resource for and about the JETAA network and alumni in the United States. It facilitates cooperation and communication among JETAA chapters with the business and academic communities, governments of Japan and the United States, U.S.-Japan-related organizations, and the global Japanese community, thereby creating a dynamic network that enables JET alumni to be actively engaged with each other, in their communities and with others involved in U.S.-Japan relations.
