Uniting Cultures, Empowering Civic Leaders to Strength America
WHO WE ARE
We are a civic and cultural organization dedicated to empowering individuals and families with the knowledge, tools, and connections needed to thrive, improve their quality of life, and contribute responsibly and positively to American society.
As the Venezuelan American community has grown across the United States, many families have faced barriers to full participation in civic life, including language access challenges, limited exposure to American history and institutions, and the absence of trusted community structures that foster belonging and responsibility.
The VE community in Houston has grown over 217% since 2020, making The Greater Houston the third City with the higher number of Venezuelans across the Nation.
We exist to bridge this gap.

Opportunity for the Private Sector
With over 70% of Venezuelan community members holding advanced degrees or specialized skills, the private sector will gain access to a highly educated, skilled, and bilingual workforce.
Potential Burden on Public Resources
Without support and integration programs, rapid growth could strain public services and increase security risks, especially if newcomers face barriers to employment and legal support
“VAC fills the gap left by the lack of the cultural and social integration place. Through civic empowerment, we guide our community to understand the systems, laws, cultural and economic dynamics in their new environment.”
