Hosei University (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) and Tokyo Metro Co., Ltd. (Taito-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter referred to as Tokyo Metro) will carry out student volunteer activities for users in need of assistance at the premises of Tokyo Metro Iidabashi Station.
At Tokyo Metro, in order to improve safety at station platforms, we are strengthening the "watching eyes" inside stations while promoting measures such as increasing the number of security guards, calling out to station employees, and acquiring service assistants from all station employees. I've done it.This measure is the first attempt to collaborate with universities along the Tokyo Metro line, which emphasizes social and community contributions, as a further "watching eye".
Hosei University has a "volunteer center" in the student center, which not only backs up volunteer activities but also actively cooperates with neighboring residents through activities.Participants in this volunteer activity attended a pre-training session held at the on-campus general training center to learn how to guide users with physical disabilities and the Japan Carefit Co-education Organization. Obtain the qualification "Service Assistance Basic Examination" and start volunteer activities.Inside the station, we will talk to the elderly and those in need of assistance, guide them to the platform, carry baggage, and support the purchase and movement of tickets.
The course is scheduled to be held on June 2017, 6, and currently, the homepage of the University Volunteer Center is recruiting students (including faculty members) who will participate in volunteer activities with a capacity of 3 people.
