OUR MISSION

The Vietnamese Association of Charlotte (Cộng đồng) is a nonprofit that is committed to bettering the lives of the 18,000+ Vietnamese Americans living in the Charlotte metropolitan area through community service and cultural programs.

Established in 1993, Cộng đồng actively engages with the greater Charlotte community to promote cultural awareness and appreciation, and provides social and educational services to facilitate Vietnamese immigrants' assimilation into the American culture.

OUR PILLARS

Our Vietnamese culture is rich in traditions, arts, cuisine, and language, and preserving and celebrating this cultural heritage is important to us. To promote a stronger connection to their roots and encourage sharing of their heritage with others, VAC organizes cultural events and programs for all ages, such as Tet/Lunar New Year and the Miss/Mister Vietnam of the Carolinas Cultural Pageants.
The Vietnamese community is known for their remarkable resilience in tough times. VAC strives to help Vietnamese-American people adapt and thrive in new environments by hosting educational workshops and sharing growth opportunities.
VAC is committed to creating a safe and reliable space for people to engage with the Vietnamese culture, regardless of location.
