° about us | ° mission |

United Vietnamese Americans ("UVA") was established in 2003, as a volunteer and social organization with two distinct goals: (i) to help better our community through service projects and (ii) to provide a forum for our community to come together. Through a sense of civic duty, UVA members are dedicated to making a positive change in our community by improving and enriching the lives of others. Giving assistance to those in need, we are making a difference, one person at a time. Our purpose is clear and our goals are noble. UVA members share in the belief that our journey through life is given more meaning and purpose by helping others along the way. It is through compassion and kindness that we achieve a better sense of our own humanity, which is our reward for doing good. In addition to volunteer service projects, UVA provides a venue for our members to develop and cultivate friendships, fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie. Through a friendly environment of openness and acceptance, UVA members discuss and address the pressing issues of the day, enabling our community to come together to achieve a common good - helping others.
