略歴

保育士・社会福祉士（ソーシャルワーカー）

Kazuki Arai｜President of National Children's Welfare Center

Chukyo Gakuin University Full-time Lecturer

Childcare Professional / Social Worker

Born in Hokkaido, Japan, in 1982 and graduated from Nihon Fukushi Graduate University. While Arai worked at an orphanage, he met children excluded from the framework of education and public welfare. There he was forced to confront the reality of unnecessary support duplications and the inequality of opportunity. In 2013 he founded a non-profit organization, National Child Welfare Center to welcome children as subjects of problem-solving rather than treating them as objects of support and protection. Through ten years of field work with young people in downtown areas and SNS, his organization has been providing an environment where more than 20,000 struggling young people can find their way of living by themselves. He is the author of “Outreach Created by Children and Youth – New Child/Family Welfare without Assuming Social Support” (I.SN). Major papers include "Outreach Method in Support Model Project for Young Victims" and "Japanese Scientists" (Hon no Izumisha).
