Iizuka-to-Sunnyvale (I2S) Student Exchange Program Since 2014, the organization has partnered with the Iizuka Friendship Network and Iizuka City to promote international cultural exchange between Sunnyvale and Iizuka students. Each March, SSCA hosts middle and high school students from Iizuka for homestays with local families in Sunnyvale, allowing participants to experience daily American life, attend school activities, and participate in cultural and educational programs. To date, the program has connected more than 300 students from both communities and continues to strengthen cross-cultural understanding and sister-city relations. 2. Sunnyvale-to-Iizuka (S2I) Student Exchange Program Each June, SSCA sends Sunnyvale students to Iizuka, Japan, for a homestay and cultural immersion experience. Participants stay with local host families, attend school and community events, and engage in activities highlighting Japanese history, culture, and daily life. The program provides Sunnyvale youth with a meaningful international experience that fosters global awareness, independence, and long-term relationships with partner families in Iizuka. SSCA coordinates travel, orientation, supervision, and cultural activities in collaboration with its sister-city partners. 3. Sunnyvale-to-Japan Adult and Family Cultural Tour SSCA administers an annual adult and family cultural tour to Japan, typically a two-week program beginning in Tokyo and concluding with a three-day stay in the sister city of Iizuka. Participants experience traditional and modern Japanese culture through activities such as hot spring visits, sake brewery tours, World Heritage sites, scenic gardens, and stays at traditional inns (ryokans). The program includes roundtrip airfare from San Francisco, domestic travel in Japan, guided English-language tours, and an optional homestay with Iizuka community members. This program strengthens international friendships and promotes cultural understanding for adults and families. 215363 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 4 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false false CA X Yushi Hotaka 6462218868 440 North Wolfe Road Suite 197 Sunnyvale CA 94085 X RON ZIELINSKI 10 10 X 0 0 0 JAY YAMANAGA 10 10 X 0 0 0 NICOLE NISHIMOTO 10 10 X 0 0 0 MELISSA WRIGHT 10 10 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 0 0 0 0 0 13250 0 13250 Educational support services 611710 239918 239918 239918 42 42 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 253210 239918 0 42 1715 0 1715 3000 3000 215502 215363 139 9092 9092 Subscriptions 566 566 Bank charge 16 16 Printing, publications, postage, and shipping 663 663 70 70 230624 215363 15261 0 0 0 32699 34093 0 32699 34093 21192 0 21192 0 X 11507 34093 11507 34093 32699 34093 22586 X false false false X 12450 0 0 145915 251509 409874 12450 145915 251509 409874 409874 44 33 42 73 42 234 410108 0.9994 0.9985 X Part I Line 1 SSCA promotes immersive cross-cultural exchanges for residents of all ages in Sunnyvale and Iizuka, Japan through virtual and in-person engagements.
