Mission: Vision New America is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization that identifies and encourages underrepresented minorities, starting with the Asian Pacific American, to become more involved in American civic activities. While the Asian Pacific American population in Silicon Valley has increased dramatically over the past three decades, our participation in civic activities remains limited and our visibility as a community with political power is quite low. We hope to help our communities take on a greater role in our nation’s activities. In order to accomplish these objectives, we are offering programs to both educate and encourage participation in community service and in our government.
Programs: Vision New America utilizes a multi-prong approach by offering a public policy internship program targeting emerging youth leaders to introduce them to public service; a voter outreach/education initiatives to encourage discussion and increase voter turnout; and educational forums to bring together community and business leaders.
