Our Step Up to Peru and Youth Meeting to Portugal delegations have returned, and we’ve held our Village selection events. The selection overnight for Step Up (age 14 or 15), Interchange (age 12-13 or 14-15),Youth Meeting (age 16-18) and Fortnight (ages 16-18) is this Friday night.

Could you drive some CISV college students coming to Jax to plan the national minicamp this weekend or help with supplies? The Rahejas are hosting the group. Sign up to drive to or from the airport here and to bring supplies here.

The Junior Branch board is holding its Winter minicamp over Presidents’ Day weekend. More info at www.cisvjax.org.

We will once again have a pavilion at World of Nations where you can help spread the word about CISV. Sign up here to volunteer.
In Peace,Lisa

Step Up Peru

Our delegation to Step Up in Peru (Hannah, Brantley, Mia, Ben and Sam) traveled to summer in South America. They joined delegations from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Columbia, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Norway, and Peru at this international leadership development program.

“Step Up taught me how to be a leader, how to speak in front of people, and what real friendships are. It was the best experience of my life, and I totally recommend it!”

“The Portugal Youth Meeting was one of the best CISV experiences I’ve had so far. I have never connected more with anyone as I did with those kids. I will never forget my time in Portugal, and I still keep in contact with the people I’ve met.”
- Walker, Jacksonville Delegate to Youth Meeting Portugal
