What is the Western Slope Opportunity Project?
As northwest Colorado transitions away from coal operations over the next 2–4 years, the Western Slope Opportunity Project (WSOP) will provide one year of critical support to affected workers and families.
UWYV is part of a group that will offer financial education, counseling, and coaching. Services will include goal setting, budgeting, debt management, and investing; they will be available virtually and in person. WSOP will also launch a “Train the Trainer” program to create a network of local financial coaches, ensuring long-term resilience and economic stability in communities like Craig, Hayden, and Meeker.
Our impact areas



Every day, we’re working to help our communities thrive.
“The United Way of the Yampa Valley is a strong organization that provides necessary funding and resources to the non-profits in our county. One of the greatest resources that UWYV offers is the development of cooperative relationships among the providers in the non profit community! This relationship building and sharing of resources supports our non profits in providing exemplary services to many of the neediest populations including children and adults in our community.”
