Project MotiVATe

http://www.projectmotivate.org

Project MotiVATe, formerly know as Camp for Youth, was founded in 1996 by Natalie My-Oanh Nguyen and Anh Ngo of the Vietnamese Community of Orange County as a summer camp for Vietnamese American Youth. In 2000, under Nicole Nguyen, Project MotiVATe included a year-long mentoring program as well as the summer camp. In 2004, the Union of Vietnamese Student Associations (UVSA) became the umbrella organization for Project MotiVATe, and the Orange County Asian and Pacific Islander Community Alliance (OCAPICA) became the mentor organization, offering resources and facilities to help the program development and growth. In 2005, with the help of California State University, Long Beach's Master's in Industrial/Organizational Psychology program, Project MotiVATe had an organizational restructure and became focused on academic mentoring.
