CISV USA

Description

CISV is dedicated to educating and inspiring its participants to work for peace. CISV achieves its goals through building inter-cultural friendship, cooperation, and understanding. Our innovative, fun, collaborative, 'learning by doing' peace education programs begin with our original and one-of-a-kind Village program for 11-year-olds. In all, CISV offers a total of seven international, camp-based, family exchange, and local community programs. We strive to help our participants develop the skills they need to become informed, responsible, and active global citizens who make a difference in their communities and the world. The unifying theme that underpins all of our programs is friendship, in keeping with our founding belief that peace is possible through friendship and mutual understanding.
