What is VSA?

We are a non-profit, non-partisan, community-based and youth-oriented organisation formed in 1991, as a means for youth to organise socially and politically within the Australian local community. We are incorporated under the NSW Associations Incorporation Act 2009. Our mission is to promote the social participation of youth through community, cultural, leadership, and social activities.

Devoted to cultural awareness, educating youth, and community service, the VSAnsw committee is composed of volunteers including VSAnsw alumni, young professionals, educators, and college and high school students. Encompassing the finest young leaders in Vietnamese Australian community, VSAnsw strives to accomplish its goals of educational, charitable, and cultural programs domestically and abroad.

Servicing the Vietnamese Australian community of New South Wales, VSAnsw works collaboratively with local Vietnamese Australian youth organisations in the New South Wales area. To these ends, we organise a wide range of social, cultural, political, and educational activities to help Vietnamese American youths develop a sense of their heritage and identity.

Our objectives

1. To engage youth with the wider community through service and charity projects.
2. To preserve and build upon Vietnamese culture and heritage.
3. To provide opportunities for leadership and personal development.
4. To provide a platform for social and professional relationships.
