The United Vietnamese Student Associations of Northern California (UVSA) is a non-profit, non-partisan, community-based organization. UVSA was founded in 2002 as a means for youths to organize socially and civically within the local communities. Committed to cultural awareness, educating youths, and community service, the UVSA staff is composed of volunteers including young professionals, college students, and high school students. Encompassing the finest young leaders in the Vietnamese American community, UVSA strives at accomplishing its educational goals, charitable goals, and cultural programs goals.

Servicing the Vietnamese American community of Northern California, UVSA works collaboratively with local Vietnamese American youth organizations in the Northern California region. 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.
