The Norwegian Kven Organization (Kven: Ruijan Kveeniliitto, Norwegian: Norske Kveners Forbund) was established in 1987, and has about 700 members.[1] The organization has local branches in Skibotn, Børselv, Nord-Varanger, Tana, Lakselv, Alta, northern Troms, Tromsø, and Østlandet.

The tasks of the organization include working for a government report about the history and rights of the Kven people, improving the media coverage of Kven issues, and for the Norwegian government to establish a State Secretary for Kven issues. In addition, its goals include establishing reading and writing classes at the beginner to advanced level and a Kven kindergarten, and to incorporate the Kven language at all levels of education in Norway. It also aims to establish a Kven culture fund, road and other signs in Kven, Kven names on official maps, and museums and centers for Kven language and culture.
