What is CISV?

Children's International Summer Villages is a unique independent, non-profit, non-political volunteer organization that offers children and adults the opportunity to make new friendships worldwide and understand and appreciate different cultures.

While CISV offers many different programs the philosophy of CISV can be summarized as a commitment to know countries through close friends rather than as abstract places on a map, and to accept others without prejudice or stereotypes.
