Veterans Leadership Program of Western Pennsylvania, Inc.

An amazing Veterans Service Organization that goes above and beyond to accomplish their mission of empowering Veterans and their families.

It has been a pleasure and God send to have a program dedicated to female veterans. It has been informative and fun to get to know other female vets. I would not have met them otherwise.

The Women Veterans Leadership coordinator is excellent. She is bringing all the women veterans on a regular basis. I'm meeting new women and making new friends thru her effort. It's a great program

My experience with VLP is as one of their community partners; specifically I am a landlord who works with VLP to house veterans via their SSVF and GPD programs. I am impressed by their professionalism, their efficiency, their dedication, and the care and compassion they extend not only to their veteran clients but to their community partners as well. It is always a joy to work with VLP!

My experience with the Vlp has been life saving because of the employee who assisted me with getting help when I most needed it. Danielle was compassionate, considerate and Assertive. She helped save my family and I couldn’t be more grateful.

I’ve met quite a few of these amazing women involved and they are doing fantastic things for the community. We are lucky to have them.

This program helped my brother get through some difficult times after he got back. It brings together individuals so they can share their stories and help others who have been through some of the hardest times of their lives. This program has helped saved lives and it will continue to do so, because sometimes even the toughest people need a little help.

VLP is a wonderful organization that helps so many of our local veterans. I have been fortunate enough to participate in several of their fundraisers and each of them have been a wonderful community event that have led to success in fundraising and awareness.

The only thing better about the mission is the people who work at VLP. Toshua and Melissa are the best!

I see veterans live's being changed everyday through the help they receive at VLP.

I have been a recipient of the good works of the Veterans leadership program for several years, the program has helped me in many ways and have made my life so much better! without them I know my life would be extremely hard. Any Veteran that is in search of a professional and caring group of people then the Veterans leadership program is for you.

Great organization with a compassionate staff serving our local veterans

I hit rock bottom in my life. However, with the help of VLP of Pittsburgh I was able to get back on my feet and continue to move forward! They offer excellent programs and the staff was patient and welcoming.

i am a vet who wants to help other vets. this organization goes above and beyond helping our vets. proud to be part od this organization in some small way.

Hands down, the most effective VSO in Western Pennsylvania!

We hosted a lift-athon in partnership with VLP. They are great people and Dan Blevins did an awesome job of organizing every detail that helped raise over $11,000 for homeless veterans in this area. This is a great organization that always has our veterans best interest at heart.

I have not needed their services. I have been involved with volunteering on several different occasions. Their staff is always courteous and knowledgeable. Their organization has given me the opportunity to give back to the Veteran community. The work they do to assist veterans is outstanding. It is a honor to know such people.

Veterans Leadership Program gives homeless veterans a way forward in life; a path to self-sufficiency. The work they do in the community is literally life changing and life saving.

VLP has helped our local veterans in so many ways. It is an immeasurably valuable program.

I cannot say enough good things about this program. The staff I've encountered working with veterans are dedicated, knowledgeable and readily accessible. Their help in connecting veterans with affordable housing and employment programs are second to none. If you don't know where to turn this is a good place to start with supportive services provided that can help or connect you with someone that can. Many kudos to VLP for doing things right.

This program has been instrumental in assisting our veterans in finding appropriate housing options and employment. Their assistance in helping veterans maintain their housing and employment post discharge has been invaluable

Some of the greatest men I have ever met. The VLP is blazing the trail with how they support our greatest heroes.
I am proud to know them.
Please contact Staff Sargent Daniel Blevins and lend a hand.
They are patriots and heroes.

VLP has helped me in ways no other organization has. The staff are respectful and eager to help when your down. Thanks again VLP.

VLP is an amazing organization that helps out many Veterans. Thank you to all the Johnstown Staff for all that you do. I wouldnt be in the place I am today without the help of all of you.

This is a great organization that supports veterans in need.

Amazing Organization that truly is set out to help our Brothers and Sisters.

I have been involved with the Veterans Leadership Program (VLP) almost since its inception in 1982. I served on the board for 22 years and was board chair five of those years. Over this time I have witnessed how the staff has helped literally thousands of veterans and their families in so many ways from finding employment, obtaining necessary medical treatment, finding housing and offering support in big and small ways. The testimonials we have on record speak volumes to this organization's work. It is so easy to write about VLP as I have witnessed their great work over these many years. I am currently serving as the Veteran Mentor Program Coordinator where we are seeking Veteran Mentors who can work with Veteran Court Participants. Mentors are trained volunteers who have served in the US Military and who work with a specific Veteran as he or she progresses through their involvement with the court. Mentors serve as liaison, an advocate and guide to fellow veterans as they work to address issues related to their criminal case. I mention this program as it is one example of how VLP is helping Veterans. I truly feel that the Veterans Leadership Program should be selected as a Great Nonprofit.

I am a navy veteran. I recently lost my job with alcoa. One benefit was to further my education. I chose cdl school. I graduated and recieved my cdl. Ive submitted alot of resumes to no avail. I need to stay local at this time. I had no where to turn to. My rent wss due. The veterans leadership program stepped up to help me. Helped me rent and redid my resume. Now i have some offers . i would of been another homeless vet if it wasnt for the vlp program. Thank you staff. Particuliarly. Ken, Katie, n Dan. Truly u r special people. To do what you do. I salute you.

The VLP program is great. It was a major help and blessing to me. I don't know what I would have done without it. I recommend this program to any veteran who needs help. The program has many ways to help veterans, including: rent, moving expenses, furniture, jobs, vision, eye glasses, health, and much more.

Amazing organization that assists local Veterans, Service Members, and their families with essential housing, employment, and other supportive services.

I filled out a TON of paperwork, and was told by one employee there that I'd receive help within the next week in paying my past due rent so I didn't get evicted. So I relayed that to my landlord. A week later, another employee called me, and said she's be handling my case. She told me I wouldn't be receiving any help. She told me to go apply for Section 8. So I looked like a liar to my landlord and applying for Section 8 wasn't going to stop me from getting evicted. I don't know if they just don't have the resources to help people or they got new staff or what. When I lost my job many people recommended I go to VLP for help. I'm a female vet with kids and this was the first time I'd ever needed help for anything. I have a bachelors degree and have no alcohol or drug history. I've always held a job and had never been in trouble. I was just in a temporary rough patch. I finally had worked up the courage to go ask for help because I didn't have any other options and they weren't very nice. The lady said if they helped me "I'd just end up in the same situation again." Thankfully, I'm now back on my feet and employed at a Fortune 500 company, no thanks to them.
