Cal VSA is proud to present to you VISION 2022: Legacy!
What is VISION?
VISION is a 4-day, 3-night, all-expense paid high school mentorship program taking place from Thursday, April 14th to Sunday, April 17th, 2022. Students are invited to spend a weekend at the University of California, Berkeley in order to explore, discuss, and learn about issues that affect Vietnamese and Vietnamese American communities as well as overarching challenges encountered across all cultures. Through workshops, activities, and discussion, we aim to help high school students gain more knowledge and develop leadership skills to be leaders and bring about change in their communities. Selected students can expect to network and collaborate with other high school students from all over California through interactive activities, workshops, and discussions.

What is this year's theme?
The theme for VISION 2022 is Legacy. To recognize our 10th anniversary in hosting the VISION program, legacy represents our roots and the past generations that have passed down the knowledge and beliefs that have stuck with us for lifetimes. Since 2012, VISION has had the pleasure of hosting high school students and university students from communities all over California on UC Berkeley’s campus for a 4-day, 3-night mentorship program, where we hope to foster an environment of growth, self-discovery, and long-lasting friendships. This weekend will explore our culture, reflect on our past, and create relationships that will present new knowledge and help us grow to make an impact within our families, community, and future endeavors.
Why apply?
Over the past nine years we have created a tight-knit VISION family network comprised of inspiring high school students, college students, and alumni. Many of our past mentees have gone on to start their own clubs in high school, become organizers and activists, and return as mentors, volunteers, or even UC Berkeley incoming freshmen. VISION isn't just a program, it's a family of talented, hardworking, and passionate individuals that's always looking to grow.
