Congratulations to Jeremy Lin - VNA Intern 2004-2005!
Vision New America would like to congratulate NBA superstar Jeremy Lin on his amazing success as point guard for the Houstin Rockets! Jeremy’s actions in the last few weeks may have catapulted him into international recognition, but Jeremy’s contributions to his community have been a lifelong pursuit. Jeremy was a part of Vision New America's Youth Leadership and Civic Engagement program in 2004 and 2005 when he was a student at Palo Alto High School. He served as an intern in State Senator Joe Simitian’s office and for then-County Supervisor Jim Beall.

Vision New America was founded in 1996 to promote the civic participation of underrepresented groups through our public policy internship programs, educational forums and community events. Our goal is to grow socially-conscious leadership that represents the diversity of our nation. Jeremy’s dedication to public service and his advocacy for Asian American representation in all aspects of American culture are commendable, and we wish him the best of luck for the rest of his season. Go Jeremy!
