I was a JET for five years. I volunteered on my days off to work at 3 kindergartens Helped establish an Australian exchange program Offered my free time to coworkers to grade papers: stay after school and tutor: organize events: participate in clubs: etc.
JET is really what you make of it. The Japanese teachers do need help and if you offer sincerely they will take you up on it.
I put in a lot of effort and personal time to make sure that I made a difference. It is a good program with the right participants.

These people have serious entitlement issues...
They should be aware that you do start at the bottom of the ladder upon joining a company.
Once you prove you aren't a complete idiot you can move from tottori "a.k.a. the second most inaka prefecture" to Tokyo.
They are lucky they even have a job offer. Idiots...

@ home I just leave the doors and windows open. @ work I sweat in misery because my boss is too cheap to turn on the a/c. Basically we all sit around saying "atsui" and lie with our faces on our desks being completely unproductive because it's too god damn hot.
