About Us

PARO’s approach to supporting women is unique in that it meets women where they’re at. Whether it’s your geographic area, or where you are on your business journey, PARO’s programs and services are designed to support you wherever you are!

PARO is an organization that not only prioritizes diversity but builds culturally diverse and gender analyses into all of our programs and services. Our logo includes both French and Syllabic translations to reflect the diversity of the organization and the women we serve. At PARO, all women-identifying people are welcome to access our services in a supportive space.

A not-for-profit social enterprise, we collaborate to empower women, strengthen small business, and promote community economic development across Ontario.
