Welcome to the Torrance Sister City Association (TSCA)!
Through our sister city partnership with Kashiwa, Japan, we sponsor a number of programs each year with the goal of furthering international friendship across cultures.
For an overview of TSCA's Programs such as Student Exchange, Host Family, Adult Leader, English Teacher, or Bunka-Sai, go to our About Us/Programs page (or click here).
UPDATE ON THE 2012 SUMMER EXCHANGE
As visitors to this site know, this past summer's disasters in Japan (earthquake and tsunami) prevented us from sending our delegation of Torrance students to Kashiwa. The TSCA Board of Directors has determined that this group of students will be designated the official delegation for the summer of 2012. We regret that we are not accepting any new applications at this time for next summer. But we are delighted that our current group has demonstrated such commitment to our program, and we're sure they will represent us well next year in Kashiwa.
Young people and families interested in the TSCA exchange should take advantage of all the other programs TSCA will be sponsoring throughout the year. Involvement in Student Club, Bunka-Sai, and hosting a Kashiwa student are among several ways not only to enjoy cultural exchange but to prepare for an application to the 2013 summer exchange. Please feel free to contact us through this website or by attending one of our regular meetings.
