Sharing Worlds, Changing Lives

The Samoan Youth Empowerment Initiative was founded in June of 2012 as a way to allow Samoan students a chance to develop cross-cultural awareness by traveling to the United States. The program seeks to engage the Samoan students in hands on activities and interaction with Americans with the understanding that Americans will gain just as much in terms of the sharing of cultures.

Our mission is to inspire the youth of Samoa to dream, but more importantly, to act. With a focus on sustainability, we are challenging the students to return to Samoa as bold leaders, active individuals and inspirational partners. They will reach out to share their experiences and then move to act on important issues facing their local communities, churches and families. They are the future of Samoa and we can EMPOWER them!

Where We Stand

When we started to organize this program, we had $0.00 dollars. However, I am happy to announce that after just a couple of months we now have over $3,000 U.S. dollars and are nearly halfway to our goal of $6,499.34. We’ve made it this far because of generous individuals, businesses, organizations and churches. Let’s keep working to raise that bar and together we can reach the top! Thank you for your continued support.
