Mission and programs · 2022
Mission
Our mission is to Connect Students with Veterans in order to honor veterans, preserve Americas heritage, and develop future leaders. Helping to bridge the gap between civilian and military life, we strive to develop students' character and civic responsibility, while recognizing our veterans' legacy of service.
Activities or mission (Part I)
Veterans Heritage Project (VHP) facilitates an award-winning, after-school program which develops character and civic responsibility in students by providing experiential learning programs to honor veterans and preserve their legacies. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, VHP is offered in middle schools, high schools, and colleges, impacting thousands of students, while interviewing hundreds of veterans annually. Their stories are preserved in the Library of Congress and through the student-publication, Since You Asked. Program elements also include community book receptions, veteran presentations, civic engagement, and college scholarships. VHPs curriculum is designated as a Character Education Program by the Arizona Department of Education and is aligned with Arizonas College and Career Readiness Standards. VHPs program has been recognized by: Congressional Medal of Honor Society, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, Veterans History Project: Library of Congress, Arizona Vet

Chapter Program-Our program is conducted through school chapters (clubs.) Guided by a trained teacher who volunteers to serve as a Chapter Advisor, students complete our curriculum and program activities over the course of a school year. Students learn the history behind military conflicts from World War II to the War on Terror, videography and photography basics; and communication skills in preparation to interview a veteran. The recorded oral history video interview is preserved in the Library of Congress. Students write, edit, and publish the veterans stories in a student produced hard-bound book, Since You Asked. Schools collaborate to plan and host community events at the end of the school year to honor their veterans and present the completed work with a book signing open to the public. Participating students and veterans each receive a free book, and additional copies are available for sale. The books are also donated to the Library of Congress. Additional enrichment activities include Veterans Day events, veteran classroom presentations or school assemblies, and scholarships.Chapter Program 23 School Partners 178 Student Participants 139 Veteran Legacies Preserved Student Feedback100% of high school seniors graduated & pursued college95% increased academic skills80% increased 21st century skills100% improved character86% improved leadership skills 95% developed a mentoring relationship with a veteran.

VHP awards seven scholarships to high school seniors who have been active in a VHP Chapter for a minimum of two years. Students must have a teacher recommendation and compete via essay contests, where they describe how veterans have impacted their character and encouraged their future, or how they have been of service to their school chapter and veteran community. The awards include a commemorative medal, a one-time $1500, $2000, $2500 or $3000 scholarship payable to the student; up to a $17,500 renewable award up to four years, credited to the students account at their selected institute of higher learning. Each scholarship is presented at our culminating program activity, the Annual Community Reception and Book Signing. VHP also partners with the Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame Society (AVHOFS), who provides three additional scholarships for VHP students. These awards are presented directly to the students at AVHOFSs annual Patriotic Luncheon. VHP purchases a table for $500 to attend the event with the students, and their families and teachers.

Annual Community Reception and Book Signing-Schools collaborate regionally to plan community events, typically held in April or May, to honor their veterans and present the completed work. The free public events include student emcees and statements, a veteran keynote, student scholarship awards, and a veteran book signing where attendees have an opportunity to interact with the veterans. VHP held two receptions this fiscal year, one in August 2022 (delayed from FY 22) and one in May 2023.
