About Union of Vietnamese Student Associations of the Midwest
The Union of Vietnamese Student Associations of the Midwest (UVSA-Midwest) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-partisan, community-based organization that was founded in 2007 as a means for Vietnamese youth organizations from across the Midwest region to network with one another, share common resources, develop leadership skills, and collaborate on philanthropic projects. UVSA-Midwest is committed to empowering emerging youth leaders within the Vietnamese community while preserving and promoting the Vietnamese culture. Servicing the Vietnamese-American community in the Midwest, UVSA-Midwest works as an partnership organization and collaborates with individual student associations and other related Vietnamese community-based organizations to conduct events and initiatives. We organize conferences and summits with a focus on leadership building, cultural awareness and identity, social and community advocacy on issues affecting the Vietnamese community in addition to the Collective Philanthropy Project (CPP).
We are dedicated to preserving and promoting the Vietnamese culture while developing leaders to advocate for Vietnamese American communities by providing resources for philanthropic opportunities as well as personal and professional growth.
