Volunteers in Asia

Our Story

Volunteers in Asia (VIA) began in 1963 with a summer volunteer project in Hong Kong, reshaping the lives of Stanford students and leading to the establishment of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 1966. Over the decades, VIA has expanded its reach across Asia, focusing on cross-cultural learning and community building.
