Vietnamese Boat People a NJ Nonprofit

Dear Friends, 

Since 2018, Vietnamese Boat People has been dedicated to preserving and uplifting stories from the Vietnamese diaspora: stories of migration, resilience, and identity that are too often left untold.

What began as a podcasts has grown into a global storytelling platform, connecting generations, communities, and histories across borders. Today our work lives through our signature exhibition, archives, publications, and community programs that ensure these stories are not only rememebered, but carried forward. 

With over 250+ stories collected, 200,000+ podcast downloads, and 4,000+ community members engaged, this work continues to grow because of people like you.

We need your help to raise $26,000 in 2026 to continue our public programming.

No amount is too small—every dollar truly goes far. Your contribution today fuels what comes next:

• Bringing the Our Journeys Traveling Exhibition into communities nationwide

• Furthering the Conversation Kit & Conversation Journal to help individuals and families begin meaningful conversations and document their histories

• Deepening the growing global platform of Journeys Map & Digital Archive to connect diaspora communities across continents

• Capturing personal oral histories and fostering dialogue through Community Recordings and Storytelling Programs, such as Food & Conversations and author talks

• And continuing to create spaces and event where our community’s voices can be heard and celebrated, through our annual Story Slams and Community Blogs
