SFU Yuva is now proud to say they are now officially part of the South Asian Alliance Vancouver (SAAV).
South Asian Alliance Vancouver (SAAV) is a non-profitable, community-oriented foundation that is a result of a collaborative effort of student clubs around the lower mainland. SAAV was founded by a small group of students that see SAAV as a platform for building an exemplary union of youth around the lower mainland that will serve and give back to our community.
SAAV's vision is to help South Asian Youth in the Lower Mainland to make positive strides towards the betterment of our community. These efforts will include yearly events that will fundraise for charitable foundations as well as anti-bullying campaigns, fundraising for the underprivileged, increasing awareness for environmental sustainability.
While SAAV will serve the community as a charitable foundation, it is also a social avenue for South Asian Youth to connect, build new friendships, and expand their respective networks.
Current member clubs include the UBC Bhangra Club, SFU-PSA, YUVA-SFU, SOAR Philanthropic Society & UTSAV UBC. Decibel Entertainment & Just Cakes BC are proud sponsors of SAAV's philanthropic efforts. SAAV is actively encouraging enrollment of other clubs as well as the support of additional sponsors.
The long term success of SAAV will depend not only on the efforts of its current member clubs but also on volunteers from our community who will help strengthen SAAV as a philanthropic foundation.
SAAV is openly looking for new members and sponsors. Please contact us if you are interested.
