Who we are

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.

What we offer

We provide a range of support services and programs to help you start, develop, and grow in Canada.

Upcoming events

We host virtual and in-person events and workshops throughout the year, along with our partners around Ontario.

Our Funders

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.
