Japanese Spa Day
NY de Volunteer organizes the innovative beauty volunteering program, Japanese Spa Day to enrich the lives of senior citizens in New York. In this program, volunteers from the local Japanese expatriate community visit senior citizens in nursing homes, hospitals and retirement communities to pamper and uplift them by providing cosmetic treatments.

Japanese Spa Day also program facilitates cross-cultural sharing between Japanese and American. In the Japanese tradition of honoring senior members of communities, dedicated volunteers serve senior citizens to spread goodwill, improved intercultural relations, and create a dialog based on mutual understanding and tolerance.
