Children Of Parents with AIDS (COPWA)/Guiding Light

CHILDREN OF PARENTS WITH AIDS’ (COPWA) mission is to promote preventive services for “at-risk” youth and families and assure the transitional services and permanency planning necessary to helping parents and prospective parents living with HIV/AIDS gain emotional and spiritual comfort in the knowledge that their children will be provided for in a safe, loving and nurturing family environment.

In 2002, COPWA expanded its mission to bring hope, empowerment and self-worth to youth at-risk and their families by delivering a variety of programs and services that provide guidance to a socially productive and acceptable life and to help stop the cycle of poverty and incarceration.
