The Union of North American Vietnamese Student Associations (uNAVSA) is a non-profit, non-partisan, community-based organization. uNAVSA was founded in 2004 as a collaborative effort between the Intercollegiate Vietnamese Student Union (IVSU) of New England and the Union of Vietnamese Student Associations of Southern California (UVSA Socal) as a means for youths to organize socially and civically within the local communities. Committed to cultural awareness, educating youths, and community service, the uNAVSA staff is composed of volunteers including young professionals, college students, and high school students. Encompassing the finest young leaders in the Vietnamese American community, uNAVSA strives at accomplishing its educational goals, charitable goals, and cultural programs goals. Servicing the Vietnamese American community of North America, UVSA works collaboratively with local Vietnamese American youth organizations all over the continent. To these ends, we organize a wide range of social, cultural, civic, and educational activities to help Vietnamese American youths develop a sense of their heritage and identity.
