About Us

Hello! We’re Vietbay Teens.

Due to the 2021 outbreak of the COVID-19 Delta strain in Vietnam, several lockdowns took place. Vietnamese markets and street vendors were forced to close down. Schools switched to online learning. Many Vietnamese people lost their only source of income, and others their education due to lack of resources. In early September, when the Mid-Autumn Festival was quickly approaching, we decided to organize an event to raise money to contribute to the existing fundraise by VietBay—a Non-Profit Organization registered in Palo Alto—to help underprivileged people in Vietnam who struggled due to the outbreak.

Since then, we have registered VietBay Teens as an independent NPO, and we have organized annual events during the Mid-Autumn Festival to commemorate our heritage, while supporting those back in our home country.

Bridging the cultural gap between generations.

We are a group of Vietnamese-American high school girls aiming to connect with our cultural roots. Fueled by our passion for sharing our culture and helping those in need, we have been organizing Vietnamese celebratory fundraisers to donate to charities in Vietnam. Our Mid-Autumn events implement elements of our heritage in a way that connects us back to our ancestors and our elders.
