If yes! CISV might be for you!
Every year, over 6,000 children from around the world go to CISV camp and family-exchange programmes to have the time of their lives. That’s where you come in!
As a CISV leader, you will help children try new things, make new friends, learn new skills, eat new foods, and even travel. It’s non-stop, challenging, and no two days will be the same! But you’ll have an experience you will never forget – an experience that will shape the rest of your life.
Founded in 1951, CISV is an international organization devoted to educating and inspiring youth to take action for a more just and peaceful world. As a VOLUNTEER leader, you can get involved in our local activities and/or travel with a delegation of youth (ages 11 to 15) to an international camp-style program. Meet people from around the world, facilitate meaningful discussions, and act as a role model for youth.

There is no minimum number of hours to commit. We are always looking for leaders to assist with monthly activities and weekend-long local camps. Getting involved year-round is a perfect way to get introduced to CISV, build up your leadership resume, learn new skills, and have fun! Everyone 19+ is welcome to join us as a local leader!
We are currently recruiting up to 5 positions for volunteer adult leaders to travel with delegations of youth to international camp-style programs this JULY 2020. Leaders must a minimum of 21 years old – but there is no maximum age! You must be available for the full program dates (3 to 4 weeks) and approximately 30 hours per month during the spring for training and preparations.

You are part of a CISV program in which children or young people are brought to a life without cultural or national differences. You grow in your responsibility for your delegation. You experience teamwork while planning with the leader’s group. You will find a lot of new friends and have great international and intercultural encounters.
