CISV has programs for all ages that will educate and inspire action for a more just and peaceful world.
Our organization was founded in the belief that peace is possible through building friendship and mutual understanding, starting with children.
We help our young participants develop to their full potential as future leaders and active citizens, to make a difference in their communities and the world. We also give them the opportunity to build global friendships and networks that will last them a lifetime.
Our innovative, fun, non-formal ‘learning by doing’ programs begin with our original and unique Village program for 11-year-olds. We offer an exciting blend of international camp-based, family exchange, and local community programs.
CISV International is a global organization dedicated to educating and inspiring for peace through building inter-cultural friendship, cooperation, and understanding. Founded in 1950, today we are a federation of nearly 70 National Associations with over 200 Chapters or local groups.
Each year our chapter receives program invitations from other chapters — both domestic and international.
