Be accepted from essay and resume submitted with application.

Kids and teens all over the world share the same dream... to be an actor in Hollywood.

Join us while we bring a bit of the Hollywood film industry to
American and Japanese schools in Japan.

25 American Teens will have the great fortune of acting as ambassadors, representing the various degrees of young actors in their journey to success in the Hollywood industry. The 25 spaces will consist of those just completing their first year with YAC to professional unknowns working in the Hollywood industry to several Nickelodeon and Disney stars.

We guarantee that all of the American actors will feel just as welcome as the famous stars by their side. All of our visiting American actors will teach improv games, lead discussions on several topics and be available to answer questions about the Hollywood industry or young actors in the USA and Canada.

Because most kids will be in school, YAC will provide a tutor to assist our American actors in completing all schoolwork assignments.

This two-week camp will consist of discussion groups, classes and visits to companies that also define the Japan film industry. Through these activities, the young Japanese and American actors will share their most common passion: acting.

This program begins in Los Angeles on August 17th and returns on August 30th. On August 31st the YAC staff will continue to see participants off on flights departing to their home states.
