International Staff Request Procedure

If you want to invite an International Staff to a Village hosted in your country please remember to follow the proper procedure.

Send a formal inquiry to the NA of the person you want to invite, asking if you may invite him/her. The NA might refuse if they feel that they cannot recommend him/her as a staff or that they need the person for a programme at home. When inviting an International Staff member, the first official communication must be between the two National Associations involved and never directly with the individual.

If the NA agrees, you should send an invitation to the person with a copy to the NA. The invitation must contain a blank Staff Application Form and Reference Forms as well as a clear statement regarding the following:

Position (Camp Director or ordinary staff member)
Financial obligations - traveling conditions etc.
Staff education/training
PRE and POST camp days

Then the invited person should send you (Host NA) a completed Staff Application Form and ask 2 references to complete the official CISV Reference Forms and forward them directly to you. When the Application and Reference Forms are returned and reviewed to your satisfaction, you can confirm the appointment of the invited person.
