Incorporated Educational Institution Momoyama Gakuin/ Momoyama Gakuin University
As extracurricular sport club activities are due to be transitioned to the local community, Play Academy supports Momoyama Gakuin’s “Girls Power Program: Leadership Development,” which partners with regional schools to provide opportunities to learn about communication, health, rights, and community through sport, and will work to develop their leadership and train them to become leaders.
