Junior Wings Donation Pancake Breakfast at JACL

Japanese-American Citizens League Hall
424 Adams Street, Monterey
Cost: donation

The Junior Wings Program is a cross-cultural student exchange program between Walter Colton Middle School of Monterey and the middle schools of Monterey’s sister-city, Nanao, Japan. The goal of this seven-month program is to provide youth from Monterey’s public middle school with a mind-broadening, international cross-cultural experience that fosters the goodwill between the citizens of Monterey and Nanao.

Please join us for a breakfast of pancakes, ham, eggs, Japanese fried rice, fruit, and hot and cold beverages for the cost of a donation of your choice to support this great program for our youth and our travel to Japan in October.


The Junior Wings program itself is a part of the Education Foundation for MPUSD, an independent, non-profit 501(c)3 organization that supports supplemental education programs throughout the school district.  The Education Foundation handles the funding and finances for the Junior Wings progam.
