Hours Verification Form

  • Do you like to meet new people and make new friends?
  • Do you want to learn how to manage a $100k+ project?
  • Do you want to be involved in the BIGGEST Vietnamese festival in San Diego?
  • Are you looking for ways to contribute or to improve the community that you live in?
  • Do you want FREE food, friends (that's right, FREE friends!), festival tickets, and a festival t-shirt?
  • Do you feel that you can do a lot more than what you are currently doing NOW?

If you answered YES to any those questions, then here is your chance to be a part of the highly anticipated VAYA's Tet Festival at Mira Mesa. Our festival will be filled with people of all ages. If you were at the festival last year, then you have a general idea of how big the festival will be this year and how much fun everyone will have. If you didn't attend the festival last year, then here is an opportunity for you to come to the festival for FREE (as a volunteer, of course) and help make this upcoming festival even bigger and better!
