Hello...

... and welcome to the Rocky Mountain JET Alumni Association (RMJETAA) website! We are an alumni group for the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program based in Denver, Colorado. RMJETAA serves New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. Our mission is to support returning JETs, encourage participation in the JET Program in collaboration with the Consulate-General of Japan at Denver, and serve as informal ambassadors of Japan. We have put together this website as a guide to Japanese and Asian related events, businesses, and activities in the Rocky Mountain Region. Please look at the upcoming events page to see what's happening soon.

Rocky Mountain JET Alumni Association will be sponsoring two happy hours in coordination with the JET Program Office for this year’s JET participants and local JET alumni. We will have one in Boulder and in Denver.

The purpose of these happy hours are to give this year’s JET participants an informal venue to meet each other, meet RMJET alumni, get a better idea of what to expect and ask all those questions they’ve been dying to ask, but don’t feel comfortable doing so in a more professional environment. You all have been on JET and have more wisdom than you might guess when it comes to those little things in life like, where to find oatmeal, what Japanese students are like, what to expect from your JTE’s, and how to work your microwave/toaster/grill/oven contraption (or that such a thing even exists!). Plus, it’s a great opportunity for RMJET alumni to connect with each other to reminisce about the good old days!

RMJETAA will cover a part of the food & drink cost. You do not need to RSVP.

You are welcome to arrive at any time (which is why I posted the happy hours for each establishment), but we will have an “official” start time of 5pm. If you can’t make it until later or want to come early, that is perfectly fine!
