Project Love Veteran Development VISTA
 
 
 
Project Love Coalition (PLC) empowers veterans in the Pittsburgh region to restore love, pride, and purpose in neighborhoods through STEAM based projects, community building, workforce development, and housing. PLC convenes veterans and other community residents to identify and implement sustainable solutions, building an inclusive and diverse community with more social and economic opportunities in the arts, housing, workforce, and business. As a member of the Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group, PLC collaborates with community-based non-profits to achieve economic justice and racial equity through revitalization efforts. PCRG empowers community development organizations in the region, providing resources like the VISTA program, which enhances organizational capacity while cultivating leadership. The program has successfully advanced the careers of VISTA members, who are given opportunities for professional development throughout the year. 70% go on to work at community non-profits, while 30% pursue higher education using the end-of-service education award.
