Mr. Yasuyuki Nambu

We are delighted to welcome all new members to the Awaji Youth Federation Global Community and hope that the next generation selected for our prestigious AYF Fellowship program will arrive on Awaji Island soon. I am filled with confidence and pride that all our AYF Fellows have the potential to go out into the world as great contributors to our global economy and society. I have a vision for this global community and fellowship program, and for the future of all those involved in guiding, building, and leading it. This program will propel members of the Awaji Youth Federation forward in their journey through life as they live, learn and work both here on Awaji Island and virtually online in a global community based on diversity, innovation and mutual respect.

One person alone may not have much influence on the world but making meaningful connections with others transforms the power of one into the power of many. For over 40 years, the Pasona Group has been dedicated to solving the problems of society. We have created diverse job opportunities for a variety of people including housewives, university graduates, the middle aged, people with disabilities, artists, musicians, athletes, and others. We work to create a society where everyone can find a career that complements their personal goals. As the world comes face to face with the global COVID-19 pandemic, now more than ever, the ambitions, hopes and achievements of the next generation of creators, innovators and thinkers all over the world gathered together under the banner of the Awaji Youth Federation are indispensable in paving the way for future generations to come. They will face the challenges of today and the years to come with the passion, determination and courage needed to make the world a better place.
