VIETNAMESE ASSOCIATION OF ILLINOIS
As the last three years have reminded us, inequity is amplified in crisis; the impact of COVID-19, remote schooling, and the struggle for racial justice have converged to create profound hardships for Chicago youth. These overlapping pandemics have made VAI analyze more critically and boldly about how we support our young people, leading us to redeploy our program in service of deepening student impact in the years that followed. While VAI’s extra-curricular programming has historically focused on encouraging a sense of belonging among participants, mostly from Vietnamese-immigrant background, what we’ve seen over the years is growing diversity in the Uptown community of Black, Brown, immigrant, and native-born youth. We recognize the importance of creating transformative relationships among the group of students and the families we work with. Given the pace at which young people are connecting to social justice issues, their relationships to each other and their community have never been more important. A $25,000 grant from Asian Giving Circle would bolster our efforts to reach even more young people in the Uptown neighborhood.
