On behalf Points of Light and the Community Blueprint Advisory Council, I invite you to apply to serve as a host site for the Veteran Leader Corps. The Veteran Leader Corps is a new AmeriCorps program to help veterans reintegrate into communities, gain workforce skills and find jobs. During 2012-13 program year, the founding class of 68 Points of Light Veteran Leader Corps (POLVLC) members started their service in veteran serving organizations in Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Texas, and the Metro Washington DC area. Points of Light seeks high quality host organizations for an additional 75 POLVLC members to serve 11 month terms starting November 4, 2013. The POLVLC members will have two main goals: to help 8,000 veterans gain workforce skills and to have 16,000 veterans trained as volunteer leaders or to serve as volunteers in their communities.
The Points of Light Veterans Leader Corps supports the Community Blueprint. The Community Blueprint brings together community leaders, individuals, government agencies and nonprofits to create collaborative, integrated solutions that address the most common challenges facing veterans and military families. Some examples of these impact areas are unemployment, education, behavioral health, housing, and reintegration. The Community Blueprint is the only national, scalable approach developed by a coalition of over 55 veteran and military-serving organizations nonprofits and government agencies focused on serving our nation’s military men, women and their families. The Veteran Leader Corps are the “boots on the ground” in communities across the country implementing real solutions that engage and lift up veterans.
