THE TEAMS BEHIND THE TEAM

LbE is powered by four regional offices throughout Japan and Hawaii in the United States with over a dozen passionate employees. LbE's offices are located in Fukuoka (headquarters), Tokyo, and Honolulu (Hawaii).
Programs often expand to other regions of Japan including Hokkaido, Kansai, Hiroshima, and Kyushu. Likewise, in Hawaii, programs also occur on the islands of Kauai and the Big Island.
In an effort to streamline the ultimate leadership experience, a group of LbE professionals make up the Global Leader Team.
Led by Kevin Ching, the Global Leader Team is responsible for the overall management and well-being of the LbE Global Leaders across the world.
THE LbE GLOBAL LEADER COMMUNITY
The LbE Global Leader Community consists of over 10,000 members around the world! While it may vary from region to region, the majority of the LbE Global Leaders are current or recently graduated university students, from undergrads to masters to doctorates and researchers.
In Japan, LbE Global Leaders primarily consist of international students studying in Japan from countless countries around the world! Hawaii's LbE Global Leaders are a mix of local, US mainland, and international students. Together, the LbE Global Leader Community is easily considered one of the most globally diverse communities in the world!
In order to develop a sense of LbE pride and the feeling of "family," the LbE Global Leaders are all considered to be a part of one tight-knit community.
Thousands of Global Leaders around the world have the opportunity to network, grow together, and support each other, while maintaining a close relationship and communication with the LbE operating organizations.
It is not uncommon for LbE Global Leaders to remain with the LbE companies for the full duration of their college life and beyond. Working with LbE is an excellent way to grow and learn by experience.

GLOBAL AMBASSADORS
LbE Global Leaders represent more than 100 countries around the world, becoming ambassadors of their country.
Types of LbE Global Leaders
In each program, we have an LbE Global Leader team. Each member of the team has a different role with its own responsibilities and expectations. Each role is indispensable for the success of the program.
The ratio participants / Leader / Supporter varies depending on the size and length of the program, but also the activities in the schedule.
Global Leaders with exceptional experience, reliability, and dedication can climb the ladder to experience the positions of "Supporter" or "Facilitator," which pays more due to the added responsibilities.
FACILITATOR
Facilitates the activities of a program with efficient time management, while looking after the whole LbE program team.
SUPPORTERS
Supports multiple leaders, bridging between leaders and the facilitator. Supporters sometimes facilitate some activities / rooms.
JAPANESE SUPPORTERS
Fluent in both Japanese and English, and a bridge between Global Leaders and the participants in ensuring the understanding the program content.
LEADERS
Responsible for leading a group of participants in various activities, escorts groups during fieldwork, and sometimes presents about their country to participants.
