As the oldest community-based organization serving the Vietnamese American community in Maryland, MVMA continues to care for those who arrived after the Vietnam War in 1975 and for newly arrived Vietnamese. Staff assist with applications for government programs, translate important documents, and provide critical immigration information. As the original Vietnamese American community has matured, MVMA has evolved to provide a space for these seniors to socialize, participate in group activities, exercise, and share meals together. A transportation program dispatches bilingual drivers to drive seniors to appointments and visits with family and friends. Remaining responsive to its community’s needs, MVMA also teaches English, tutors at-risk Vietnamese American high school students, assists with Know Your Rights campaigns, and organizes cultural celebrations. MVMA empowers and unifies generations of Vietnamese Americans.
