We are so incredibly excited for this next step in VAR’s journey to support the Vietnamese American community alongside the surrounding Alma community in San José. Thank you to NCPP and for this opportunity and for trusting VAR to help bring new life, energy, and community programming back into this space.

This is the beginning of building a community-centered home for youth programs, civic engagement workshops, cultural events, educational resources, and intergenerational connection.

Let’s build this space together! 🧡
