Vietnamese American Roundtable
The mission of the Vietnamese American Roundtable (VAR), founded in 2013 and established in 2017, is to organize, inform, and educate its community about the critical issues that impact their lives. VAR accomplishes this mission by cultivating multigenerational and multilingual opportunities for intergenerational dialogue and healing while highlighting the disproportionate impact of structural inequities and injustice on refugees, immigrants, and their descendants through our youth development programs, educational workshops, and cultural events: such as the inaugural Lunar New Year: San Jose Festival in 2023, and the Annual Commemoration for the Anniversary of the Fall of Saigon (Black April).
