IWOO’s mandate is to empower women through programs and supports that impact the world’s equity and diversity while providing opportunities for women, and helping them improve the lives of their families and community.
IWOO was initially created as an association of volunteer women dedicated to improving the lives of Iranian women and their families in Canada.
In 2009, IWOO adopted a new vision and elected a Board of Directors, committed to a strategic direction that would be current, transparent, and reflective.
We now help immigrant community members, alongside Iranian-Canadians, to successfully integrate into Canadian society by achieving economic, social, and political equality while maintaining their heritage and cultural values.
We provide a range of support services and programs to help you start, develop, and grow in Canada.
We host virtual and in-person events and workshops throughout the year, along with our partners around Ontario.
Canadian Women & Sport’s Spotlight Grant is part of the Community Sport for All initiative. This project has been made possible in part by the Government of Canada.
La subvention Focus du Femmes et Sport au Canada fait partie de l’initiative Le sport communautaire pour tous. Ce projet a pu être mis sur pied en partie grâce au soutien du gouvernement du Canada.
Through a Resilient Communities Fund grant, over the period of two years, our organization will build its resilience and sustainability by securing resources to implement recreation and well-being programs for staff, volunteers and members. We thank the Ontario Trillium Foundation for supporting us with this grant. This grant will enable IWOO to expand, adapt and add programs to support its volunteers and staff, and meet the changing needs of its members.
