​
Creativity: We encourage our community to share and explore new ideas.
For nearly a decade, Vingo’s founders worked with the Vietnamese community across California to promote language, culture, and education. During our time working with students and educators, we observed widespread loss of heritage language and culture among the Vietnamese diaspora. Vietnamese children are unable to learn their native language, while parents struggle to preserve their culture among future generations.
Vingo was created to build bridges between individuals and their heritage through language and cultural immersion. We will help create opportunities that empower future leaders and thinkers through a thriving, global network that connects individuals and communities.
To accomplish Vingo's mission, we will focus on language, culture, and network. A commitment to these guiding principles will help us achieve our vision to create a globally connected diaspora through heritage.
