SUMMARY:Program Selection Night 2025
DESCRIPTION:Our Selection Night will take place Sat. Feb 8 at 6pm until Sun. Feb. 9 at 9am. Youth and leader applicants are expected to stay overnight. \nYouth Registration for Selection Night \nhttps://forms.gle/gsB9Hh32B3b9QPjM6\nParents whose children have never traveled with CISV will need to schedule an interview\, either in person at Selection Night between 6pm-8pm or on Zoom some time before Feb. 8. \nPart of the CISV program application process is the interview and selection process. \n\nEach fall\, we receive program opportunities from other chapters. The delegates that can be sent are limited to a specific number. In most cases\, the gender is specified.  This number and mix is based on research. \nOur Selection Committee\, all of whom have extensive experience working with youth and CISV\, struggle with selection when we have a plethora of great applicants and most of our programs have applicants that exceed our availability.  The committee must carefully consider the best applicants and mix of delegates to meet the specific program’s goals. \nThe goals and selection criteria are slightly different for each program. All programs share the common goals of building global friendships and learning about the educational areas of diversity\, conflict and resolution\, human rights and sustainable development. \n\nSelection Night Myths\nSometimes there are misconceptions about how selection is made.  Here are a few common myths. \nJBer’s who fulfill a certain role in the JB are entitled to a Junior Counselor/Step Up/ Seminar spot.  While it is true that involvement and leadership in the JB and increased knowledge of CISV are pluses in selection\, selection is never an entitlement.  Additionally\, programs are not selected with any particular youth in mind and are driven based on chapter demographics\, gender fairness\, and desirability of location and time period.  Everyone has a fair shot. \nYou have to be extroverted/ have a super bubbly personality/be a top student/etc. to be selected. So not so. Can you imagine 48 of the same type of person all together?! The key to a good delegation is balance.  Diversity of all kinds makes the world go round.  Same is true of a CISV program and delegation.  There is a place for introspective book worms\, logical techno kids\, life-of-the party dancing fools and pie-in-the sky dreamers. \nYour parent is on the board or volunteers for/contributes to the chapter in a significant way.  The selection rate for board member’s youth is higher. This has much more to do with the families’ general increased involvement in CISV and thus the youth’s involvement in CISV and knowledge about the organizations goals than their parent being a board member or super volunteer.  Being tuned into the chapter deadlines and being able to communicate CISV at the interview is a plus. \nImproving the Odds\nSo you really want to participate in a CISV program\, which as we started with\, has finite opportunities.  What can you do to increase your odds of attending? \nBe involved with CISV year round.  We have meetings\, activities\, mini-camps.  Not everyone can go to everything\, but the more you participate\, the more you will know about CISV. \nTake the interview seriously.  This is your chance to show the Selection Committee what you have to offer.  Don’t minimize it or play with your phone during the interview!  Make a good impression. \nWait and see what Round Two brings.  If you did not get selected\, Round Two could turn up returned invitations or chapter shares for when chapters cannot fill their invitations.  Your chapter president will start finding out about opportunities.  We try to place as many youth as possible in “delegation shares” with other chapters. \nBe flexible.  Didn’t get in a summer program to your favored destination?  Consider a winter program or a location that is less sought after.  Not selected for JC?  If you are 17\, you could also be eligible for a Seminar spot or vice versa.  Didn’t get in Step-Up?  Consider Interchange\, etc. \nGet your CISV fix in short bursts!  Mini-camps and National Youth Board Meeting are a great way to get the CISV experience in weekend doses.  Many JBers never attend any international\, multi-week program and get just as much out of CISV by attending meetings\, activities and mini-camps!  It’s all fun and all good.  You will still meet lots of new friends from all over.  Save that long camp experience for when you can apply to be a leader! \nHopefully this helps you understand the selection process. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have more questions\, we are happy to help.
