Our Mission

“AWOG is a legacy built by American women in Greece who dared to dream in times when women faced barriers. For American women seeking belonging, support, and purposeful giving, AWOG is home; a shared volunteer-driven space rooted in friendship, cultural exchange, and service, reflecting the diversity and strength of its members”.

About Us

The American Women's Organization of Greece (AWOG) is a call to action that pulses through every aspect of our organization. As Americans living in Greece, we know the power of connection and support in navigating life abroad and for this reason we are dedicated to providing a nurturing environment where American women and their friends can come together to share experiences, make lasting friendships, and find a place of comfort in Greece.

Our History

Since its inception in 1948, the American Women's Organization of Greece (AWOG) has forged a remarkable history of service and camaraderie. Rooted in the spirit of volunteerism, we have been a driving force behind numerous charitable initiatives throughout Greece.
