Virginia Women Veteran Program (VWVP)
The Virginia Women Veteran Program (VWVP) is a vital resource for Virginia’s women veterans, providing referrals and access to essential services related to education, transition, training, and employment. Guided by its foundational pillars— advocacy, empowerment, and supportive services through community partnerships—VWVP ensures that women veterans from all eras receive timely and personalized assistance. Advocacy lies at the heart of VWVP. The program partners with government officials, community leaders, and stakeholders to amplify the voices of Virginia’s women veterans, ensuring their needs are prioritized in policy decisions, funding discussions, and resource allocation. VWVP also empowers women veterans by offering engagement opportunities for recognition, networking, and access to services. Each year, VWVP organizes the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Women Veterans Week Celebration. Other notable activities include the Women Veterans Pinning Ceremony, legislative roundtables, social events, learning opportunities, and community activities throughout Virginia. These events are designed to equip women veterans with the knowledge and resources they need for a smooth transition in life and to enhance their overall wellness. Community engagement further strengthens VWVP’s im- pact by building a network of community partners across the Commonwealth. The program connects women veterans with essential organizations that provide training, employment assistance, peer support, and access to health and wellness services, including healthcare and mental health resources. These specialized services assist women veterans in navigating life, empowering them with the tools they need to thrive.
