Vietnamese American Services, Inc

VAS is a non-profit organization established in Silver Spring, MD in 2015 to address current and emerging needs within the Vietnamese-American community. Most of our clients are within lower socio-economic statuses with limited English skills who work long, non-standard hours and need new flexible services. VAS is committed to bringing quality, convenient services to connect the community to all available resources and to improve their standard of living. Our team has strong ties to the Vietnamese community, as well as linkages to other service providers.

VAS focuses on capacity building, connecting/bridging, and empowerment strategies rather than strictly service provision, including Outreach Services, Partnership, Community Engagement. VAS offers a variety of programs and services, including English Language Classes, Healthcare services, Senior Programs, and Immigration and Translation services. Volunteers can assist in any of these programs, but primarily for our Annual Cultural events.
