- The Colorado Latino Age Wave
Project is a partnership between foundations, service
providers, community activists, and government systems.
CLAWP is investing in and advocating for innovative
programs and services that help Metro Denver's Latino
older adult population lead active, healthy, and
productive lives. In 2012, CLAWP selected three fellows
to work specifically on projects addressing veterans,
mobility, and policy issues. CSHG member Jose Aguayo, one
of these fellows, created a project that seeks to build
awareness of and appreciation for the service of older
Latino Veterans. He plans to publish a book and create a
video about WWII, Korean War and Vietnam War
veterans. He wants to learn about veterans' needs
regarding health, education, employment, housing and
other issues; and facilitate connections to appropriate
service providers. If you are a veteran over age 50, or
know someone who is, please contact Jose
Aguayo or call
303-433-1825.
