Here in this Village you may see…
CISV was founded in the belief that peace is possible through building friendship and mutal understanding, starting with children.
We help our young participants develop to their full potential as future leaders and active citizens, to make a difference in their communities and the world. We also give them the opportunity to build global friendships and networks that will last them a lifetime.
Our innovative, fun, non-formal ‘learning by doing’ programs begin with our original and unique Village program for 11-year-olds. We offer an exciting blend of seven international camp-based, family exchange, and local community programs.
CISV Atlanta Chapter, CISV USA, and CISV International are part of a global organization dedicated to educating and inspiring for peace through building inter-cultural friendship, cooperation, and understanding. Founded in 1950, today we are a federation of 70 National Associations with over 200 Chapters or local groups.
