Every CISV story is unique and exciting. Every person who is part of CISV has started his or her journey in a different way. Each CISVer has a good, authentic, and interesting story to tell.
I think the kind of atmosphere for learning that CISV gave me that summer is a beautiful gift to give an 11 year old. Having kids my age, teenagers, and adults listen to me intently, respond to what I was saying, and encourage me to continue speaking, and thinking, and sharing was formative in me finding my voice.
Founded over 60 years ago, CISV International is a global organization dedicated to educating and inspiring action for peace.
