VietRISE’s Tu Luc School for Organizing is a 12-week after-school program designed for Vietnamese American youth aged 14-18 who are interested in deepening their understanding of social justice, activism, and community organizing. Through workshops, discussions, and hands-on activities, participants will learn more about power structures, develop leadership skills, and discuss Vietnamese identity and community activism. This program focuses on civic engagement, highlights Vietnamese American history, and strengthens participants’ connections to their cultural identity through language and cultural activities. Additionally, we provide three paid civic engagement internships in the Fall for youth who have completed the 12-week program.

Program Dates: May 30 – August 16, 2024

Join the movement to expand immigrant voting!

This November 2024, Santa Ana voters will have the opportunity to vote on a ballot measure that would expand the right to vote to ALL Santa Ana residents, regardless of immigration status.

If voters approved this measure, the community members — who are mothers, fathers, grandparents, our neighbors, workers, tax-paying residents — will finally have the right to vote and have a say in who represents them. This measure will strengthen democracy and civic engagement in Santa Ana and make all Santa Ana residents feel as if they long.
