Our Story
NAVASA was established in 1995 by leaders of Vietnamese community-based organizations who were committed to helping newcomers achieve their American dreams. Founding members appreciated the struggle - many had been through it themselves - and wanted to help others achieve social and economic success as well. Since the establishment of NAVASA, the organization has received funding support from several agencies of the U.S Government, State and local governments, private foundations such as the Open Society Institute and Community Foundation for the National Capital Region as well as from private corporations. Affiliate organizations operating throughout the United States have also gained financial and other support of the community in which they operate. One of NAVASA's first seminar held at a local park in Belmont, MD (1994)
NAVASA's Office Open House, located in Silver Spring, MD (2003)
NAVASA has evolved during the past nine years. Through cooperation with its growing affiliate members, to offering efficient technical assistance, and reaching out to Vietnamese American youth, NAVASA has since taken an active role in establishing itself as a national advocacy organization for all Vietnamese American communities across the United States
