About Us
Our mission is to support and empower women to live and thrive with HIV through education, advocacy and community.
WLP is the leading organization supporting and empowering women and their families living with HIV/AIDS.
Since WLP began in 1997, it has contributed to the lives of many women living with HIV and their families in Colorado.
From the beginning, this organization has been built on a foundation of values rooted in Life, Dignity, and Advocacy.
By maintaining alignment with these values through its vision and mission, WLP has established itself as a vital link in services offered in this region for HIV positive women and their families.
