VIA's summer programs provide short-term, focused cultural exchange experiences for any Americans over the age of 18. Programs are designed to help you explore Asia while participating in a community in a meaningful way. Our small group programs in China, Indonesia, and Vietnam allow undergraduates and college grads to become involved with local communities over a 4- to 6-week summer period.

What do summer participants do?

Participants in China learn about traditional Chinese medicine, participants in Indonesia live with families and volunteer at a local nonprofit, and participants in Vietnam organize an American culture course for university students or teach at-risk students with a local nonprofit while exploring their Vietnamese-American heritage.
