What is CISV?
CISV (Children's International Summer Villages) is a global community of dedicated volunteers, creating opportunities for all ages to experience the excitement and enrichment of cultural diversity through our educational programs. We are founded on our belief that peace is possible through friendship – and that the real difference can be made by starting with children.
Please explore our informational video!
CISV provides a range of unique, educational group activities, which develop cross-cultural understanding in children, youth and adults from around the world. By encouraging respect for cultural difference and the development of self-awareness, CISV empowers each participant to incorporate these values into their lives as they become global citizens and strive for a more peaceful world. CISV DC is one of over 20 USA chapters of Children's International Summer Villages (CISV).

The Junior BOARD
What is the Junior Board?
The Junior Board is the self-governing body of the Junior Branch in CISV. The Junior Board plans, votes on and executes proposals and motions that pertain to the IJB goals, and activities in the Junior Branch. The Junior Board runs parallel, and often working in tandem with the adult board of CISV DC. Each Junior Board runs its Junior Branch a little differently.
