Our Story
Formally launched in 2006, The Paros Foundation is based in Berkeley, California. Paros welcomes the involvement of our friends around the world. We invite organizations and individuals to partner with us and utilize our on-the-ground resources in Armenia to implement valuable projects.
Paros has earned a reputation as the “go-to” organization to oversee project implementation in Armenia. The Foundation works to help build a sustainable and vibrant homeland while improving living conditions for its most vulnerable populations.Â
To facilitate volunteerism, The Paros Foundation launched its SERVICE Armenia program in 2013. This Armenia-based service program for teens and young adults provides participants an opportunity to travel to and experience all Armenia has to offer while helping make a difference.Â
Donations to The Paros Foundation, a 501(c) 3 organization, are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. The Foundation welcomes the involvement of our friends around the world.
