New Year Greetings
Happy New Year!
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your tremendous support and cooperation in the activities of the General Incorporated Association Grow Up Academy throughout the past year.
The year 2025 was a significant milestone for us.
From November 11, 2025, three organizations – the General Incorporated Association Grow Up Academy, the General Incorporated Association Rendir Hamamatsu Sports Club, and the Shizuoka Connect Association for Connecting Communities and Students – began operating under a new structure as the "Grow Up Group."
Sports, education, and community collaboration.
By bringing together the expertise and achievements cultivated in each of these fields, we will fundamentally work from Hamamatsu to foster the next generation and revitalize local communities as a comprehensive platform that nurtures the potential of "people" and "regions."
Grow Up Academy aims to continue to play a central role in education and human resource development, striving to be an entity that creates a "cycle of growth" where learning leads to practice, which in turn contributes back to the community.
This year too, we will continue to take on challenges to forge the future together with everyone involved.
We kindly request your continued guidance and support.
We sincerely wish you all a fruitful year.
Shoya Shimazawa
Representative Director, General Incorporated Association Grow Up Academy
