THE EMPOWER PROGRAM ©

We are a supplement to the interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral crime prevention work on a local and national level. Our focus is on young people in isolation, especially in extremist groups and gangs, who themselves want to enter a process of change.

We cooperate with the Prison and Probation Service on the execution of sentences for young offenders. In addition, we have established a project with SaLTo Groruddalen (districts Bjerke, Grorud, Stovner and Alna) to contribute to the districts’ work with extremism and gang issues.

We have developed a comprehensive program that enables long-term follow-up and support for young people who need this. It has a background in social science and conflict science experience and research.
