Mission Statement
The mission of the Huong Viet Community Center is to promote, advance, and support the development of the Vietnamese American Community and families through educational, social, and cultural programs. Huong Viet seeks to advocate and encourage the active participation and full integration of Vietnamese Americans into the East Bay Community.
About This Cause
Founded in 1987, the Huong Viet Community Center is a non-profit tax-exempt community center formed to address the educational, social, and cultural needs of Vietnamese youths and their families in the East Bay. All efforts in Huong Viet have been from volunteers and parents, who are students, professionals and leaders in the Vietnamese American Community in the Bay Area. Vietnamese Language School: Since 1987, Huong Viet has taught over 5,000 youths through its Vietnamese Language School. Currently held at Roosevelt Middle School in Oakland (1926 19th Ave) every Saturday from 9am to 12pm from September through June. The Vietnamese Language School teaches Vietnamese American youths the Vietnamese language and culture. Lion & Cultural Dances: The lion dance and cultural dance are important traditions in Vietnam. The lion dance helps to bring in good luck for the coming year with its elaborate dancing and drumming. Traditional dance helps preserve our culture. The Huong Viet Lion Dance and Cultural Dances have been in existence since 1996 and consists of Vietnamese youths who perform in many events and celebrations throughout the year. Social and Cultural Events: We hold social and cultural events to encourage the preservation and appreciation of Vietnamese cultural traditions through the annual celebration of Vietnamese holidays such as Mid-Autumn Moon Festival (Tet Trung Thu) and Lunar New Year (Tet Nguyen Dan). We also sponsor cultural and historical activities to create a better understanding and appreciation of Vietnamese and Vietnamese American cultures.
