Empower! AIESEC Youth Empowerment Program

Mission

To empower Norwegian students to be global minded responsible leaders.

The way we do it

By connecting youth personal beliefs and aspirations with the challenges faced by their local

communities and by raising awareness about global challenges, like the Millennium

Development Goals.

Host Family Program

The Host Family Program is a way to immerse Norwegian

families in an international environment. Here, they invite the

trainees into their homes, providing for food and a place to

sleep during the period of the internship. This way, the

Norwegian family not only gains a new member but also learns

about a different culture, its values and traditions, language, food,

and much more. What makes these cross-cultural experiences so

exceptional, are the relationships that evolve into lifelong

friendships.
