Women Who Served – Colorado Veterans
Connection. Community. Purpose.
Who We Are
We are a community built for all women who are currently serving and those who have served, across all branches, who live in Colorado.
Our group exists to create meaningful connection beyond service – bringing women together who share lived experience, resilience, and a desire to continue growing personally and professionally.
We are a community-driven hub rooted in authenticity, mutual support, and shared purpose. Our focus is building something with women veterans, not for them.
As part of our growth and commitment, we are proud to share that we are an approved charitable organization in the State of Colorado and an approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization by the IRS. This designation allows us to more effectively serve women veterans by pursuing grants, sponsorships, and community partnerships that directly support our mission and focus areas.
We believe that service does not end when the uniform comes off – it evolves.
Our Purpose
We exist to:
- Create connection among women who have served
- Build a supportive and inclusive community
- Support women veterans and service members as they navigate life in and out of service
This purpose guides everything we do, from casual meetups to conferences and community partnerships.
How We Build This Together
This community is shaped by its members.
Every connection, conversation, event, and collaboration contributes to what we are building together. There is no single “leader” of this community – rather, it is powered by the collective experiences, ideas, and voices of women who have served.
We invite women to show up as they are, share their experiences, support one another, and help create a community rooted in trust, respect, and purpose.
