VIETNAMESE VOLUNTARY FOUNDATION (VIVO)

Vietnamese Volunteer Foundation, Inc (VIVO) was founded in 1979. It is one of the most dedicated 501(c)3 nonprofit, community-based organization providing comprehensive acculturation, employment, health and human support as well as senior and family services to over 100,000 residents in the counties of Santa Clara and San Joaquin in Northern California.

Our history:

In 1979, a group of young Vietnamese-American professionals in San Jose put into action their strong commitment to community services by founding VIVO - Vietnamese Voluntary Foundation, a non-profit agency to assist refugees/immigrants and low-income ethnic families become productive members of our community Value multicultural diversity. Extending these services, VIVO developed a second branch in Stockton in 1985.
