Regions of Ehime & RAs
In Ehime, we have a support network called the 'Regional Advisor system (RA). The JETs in Ehime have been divided into 5 groups based on the region they live in.
Each region has an 'RA' or two - a volunteer JET who wants to help out other JETs in his/her area. The RA's can help you out with many region/job related questions - information on your area, ideas for teaching, traveling in/out of your region, services available etc. The RAs are JETs who have lived for a year or more in their region and know what its like to be a 1st year JET there!! Feel free to contact the RAs in other areas to find out about their region.
