• VAR's racial justice projects aim to amplify and uplift the histories, identities, narratives, and experiences of refugees, immigrants, and their descendants against the backdrop of social and racial inequity. The Student Engagement and Education for Development and Success (SEEDS) Summer Youth Program annually hosts 20-30 young local high school and collegiate leaders ages 14-24 to participate in project-based workshops and activities to identify civic and social issues and develop solutions for their communities. The Let's Be Rieu (Let's Be Real) Program is a monthly facilitated conversations on topics of racial justice (anti-AAPI hate, Black Lives Matter, political participation and representation) that has brought together inquiring youth to open up and share their thoughts on contemporary matters relevant to their experiences and identities. Com Gia Dinh is a hybrid anthological project in progress that aims to capture the narratives of community members across generations and languages through food and storytelling. The Com Gia Dinh Project aims to address the adverse impacts of anti-Asian hate and violence by collecting, compiling, and presenting the humanistic experiences of Asian American community members who call San Jose and Santa Clara County home.
