The JET Alumni Association of Washington, DC (JETAADC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We welcome all former and current participants of the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Program – as well as friends of JET – residing in the greater Washington, DC area. We are the oldest chapter in the nation and, with over 500 members, we are also one of the largest and most active.
