message from the president
Signee T.

Welcome to the American Women’s Club of Oslo's website!  

The AWCO is a non-profit organization whose purpose, as stated in our constitution, shall be to "bring together and to further the interests of American women living in Norway and to promote good will in the community." We offer American women an opportunity to become acquainted with other Americans in Oslo, to explore Norwegian and American culture, to participate in varied programs and activities, to network and expand within a large resource group, and to share the "Norwegian experience" with American friends.

How do we accomplish the above objectives?  The Club meets regularly once every month, maintains a comprehensive English-language Library, awards a biennial scholarship of NOK 100,000, and hosts a variety of special activities for its members. What we do is based on our membership at any given time; the Club directly reflects our members' needs and preferences.

AWCO is traditionally very proud of its Scholarship program. It strengthens our ties with our host country and contributes to the well-being of children and adults who benefit from the specific training the Norwegian professionals receive in America. We contribute toward our Scholarship Fund throughout the year with income from monthly raffles, percentages of proceeds from sales at our meetings, cookie sales at the Independence Day Picnic, and special "fund-raisers "such as the Children's Halloween Party. 

Volunteers give their time to make these and many more activities possible.  AWCO is a volunteer organization and we owe our success and existence to our energetic and dedicated members.   If you are new to Norway or have been here for some time, ready to meet new people or participate in our organization, please come visit and join in the fun.  We welcome you and invite you to discover your niche at AWCO. 

To learn more about AWCO and all we have to offer, please take some time and look around our website.  If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.  

I look forward to seeing you at AWCO!
