WHEN WAS THE SAN JOSÉ CHAPTER FOUNDED?

The American GI Forum spread into California in the late 1950’s. The Santa Clara Valley Forum was founded on June 27, 1959. Later when some members left to start a chapter in the city of Santa Clara, the Valley Forum became known as the American GI Forum San José Chapter. Today it is the largest non-profit American GI Forum chapter in the western United States referred to as “Old Number One”

ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

They are to develop leadership among its members and to participate intelligently and wholeheartedly in community civic affairs. It advocates the protection of the rights of all veterans regardless of race, color or creed. It grants scholarships to deserving Hispanic youth to enable them to secure a higher education. It advocates the teaching of our culture to our youth so that they can be proud of their ancestry and make a more valuable contribution to the United States of America.
