  • Must be 21 years old prior to travel.

Role and Responsibilities

Parents give permission for their children to travel accompanied by a named leader, who is expected to provide supervision and care for participants during travel and throughout the Program.

Leaders must participate in local and national leadership training to prepare them for their role and must apply the principles taught in this training to the Program.

Leaders have specific responsibilities for the travel arrangements and preparation of a delegation prior to leaving for a Program.

Leaders are also expected to support the Program staff and actively participate in Program activities. Leaders also have some responsibility for planning and running educational activities during the Program.

It is the responsibility of the leaders to understand and actively promote the ideals and objectives of CISV in all aspects of the programs. The leaders must be able to devote the time and energy needed to undertake leader training and work with the delegates and their families to plan and carry out a successful CISV program experience. It would be preferable is if leaders had previous experience in leading children and young people. Although being a leader can be quite challenging, it also offers great opportunity for personal growth—a commitment to this task is a great investment with high return.

Selection

The Selection Committee consists of active members of the Chapter who bring various perspectives and a wealth of expertise to the task. The committee includes past delegation leaders, recent parents, staff members, and members with prior Selection Committee experience. Both men and women are included, representing teachers, counselors, and parents actively involved with youth. Their experience, expertise and variety of perspectives assure us that the delegations selected will represent our community, Chapter and nation well.

The selection process involves several important factors. No single factor is necessarily more important than the others, but all are considered together in the committee’s decisions:

  • Application and References
  • Selection overnight — involving games and other activities similar to those experienced in the Village or Summer Camp. The overnight gives the committee opportunities to observe the children and the adult leaders applicants at play and interacting with each other.
  • Leader Candidate Interview — An opportunity for the applicant to express his/her feelings about the CISV experience and to ask any questions he/she may have.
  • Adult Leaders in CISV are volunteers, age 21 or older. The participating families pay the leader’s airfare. Leader applicants are screened carefully through a selection process, including criminal background check, designed to ensure they are well-qualified and well-suited to lead the CISV Delegations during the preparation phase as well as during the program phase. CISV selects leaders who will be responsible, caring and whose top priority is always the children’s safety and well-being. A background check is included in the selection process. Volunteer leaders may be parents, teachers, counselors or others who have the willingness and ability to work well with children and who will carry out their responsibilities in accordance with CISV policy. Many leaders were past program participants, and want to participate in the experience again as leaders.

Using the preceding selection criteria and selection process, delegations are formed based on the best judgment of the Selection Committee. Leaders are informed of selection results with a follow-up phone call within a few days of the Selection Events.

All CISV leaders undergo a thorough training process, starting at the local Chapter level and continuing through a mandatory CISV-USA regional training seminar. Training includes the basics of CISV philosophy, program content, potential problem recognition, cultural awareness, risk management and conflict resolution.

The number of applicants varies from year to year, but there are frequently more highly qualified applicants than there are leader positions to fill. For this reason, we hope applicants realize that CISV offers much more than just the Program Leader Position There is a very active Junior Branch youth group that plans CISV-related activities throughout the year, and this group always benefits from adult participants in an advisory role. Adults also become involved in many CISV local activities such as our Faces of Jacksonville Village that further the ideals of CISV. We encourage all applicants to get involved and experience the many positive aspects of CISV.
