As a way to solve the issues in child poverty and learning disparities, Chance for Children (CFC) provides underserved children with coupons, redeemable only at educational facilities throughout Japan. 3,000 registered classes are available for children to choose from, and if they need advice, college student volunteers, a.k.a. Brothers & Sisters, or coordinators in the community guide them while spending time together. CFC reimburses tuitions/fees of the class that the children take directly to the facilities, so there is no need for the children’s families to cover the costs at any given time. This CFC’s coupon program is on annual bases- the children are selected based on their family’s income, and priority is given to those who makes the least. Once selected, the children are entitled to continue participating in the following years if they wish, unless their family’s income increases dramatically. CFC strives to make the most lasting impact on each child’s life through education.
