Program Leadership

Junior Counselors For Young Adults Ages 16 -17

 

Junior Counselors, like adult leaders, are carefully selected and trained.  They too need a love for working with children and a belief in the philosophy of CISV.  They have an important function in the Village Program being able to relate to both the adults and the children.  Although Junior Counselors who have been involved in other CISV Programs will have an advantage,  that is not a prerequisite.

Adult Leaders  For Adults Ages 21 and older 

 

Adult Leaders for all CISV programs are volunteers who are carefully selected and trained.  The primary qualifications, in addition to being 21 years of age or older, are a love for working with children, a belief in the philosophy of CISV, some travel experience, and the flexibility and maturity necessary to lead a delegation of energetic young people.

Leaders meet frequently with their delegations to prepare them for the CISV program experience.  The leader provides the catalyst that allows the delegation to bond as a cohesive group of friends with a common purpose.  Preparing leaders through extensive local and National training is a strict CISV requirement.

Volunteer leaders include teachers, parents, clergy, business professionals, graduate students, and others.
