The building blocks of global friendship

At CISV we believe in building global friendship, starting with children. But that's not where it stops.  While the Village programme, for 11 year olds, is the cornerstone of our educational philosophy, it's just the first building block. We also offer a range of multicultural experiences to youth and adults, providing the opportunity to experience the CISV philosophy and live our values.

CISV Chapters around the world host a range of programmes for different age groups. We try to ensure that quality and general content are similar, no matter where the activity takes place. CISV also endeavours to keep participation fees as low as possible. There are opportunities to learn at the local, regional and international level. Participation begins at local CISV Chapter level, where members have the opportunity to apply for international experiences. We have six unique international programmes starting with children from age 11. There are many additional opportunities for involvement for other age groups in these programmes – ranging from Junior Counsellors to adult Leaders.

There are also many exciting volunteering opportunities for adults and youth >>
