Compared to the need, the Colorado OPG can serve a limited number of Coloradoan adults. Identifying appropriate successor guardians for OPG clients would allow the OPG to serve new eligible individuals.
The Colorado OPG will develop a Guardianship Academy to train and support successor guardians. If you are interested in becoming a guardian and furthering the goals and independence of an adult under guardianship, please review What is a Guardianship (link pending) and complete the Become a Successor Guardian form (link pending).
The Colorado OPG handles all aspects of an individual’s life. Therefore, the Colorado OPG interacts with various direct care providers, advocates, advocacy agencies, health and medical providers, governmental agencies, General Assembly, attorneys, fiduciaries, private guardians, and educational entities.
The Colorado OPG welcomes you to become a collaborative partner or donor to assist the OPG in fulfilling its Mission.
The Colorado OPG Inside Look is a publication providing information and resources for CO OPG clients, partners, and stakeholders.
The Colorado OPG invites you to become a volunteer to assist with administrative duties and supporting Public Guardians when providing services to clients. For more information, please sign up to Become a Volunteer or Intern.
