Volunteer to Help "One Day" Village

CISV Philly will be hosting Village delegrations from Brazil, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Italy, USA, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Germany this summer. The Village is inspired by the song "One Day" by Matisyahu.

Summer is fast approaching and so is our "One Day" Village! Please take a few moments to look through the volunteer opportunities still available and choose one or more that are suitable for you and/or your family.

We have first weekend and mid-camp HOSTING available and need a few more good folks to participate in this very special opportunity.

The Phiadelphia Chapter of CISV looks forward to putting on a fantastic CISV village experience and needs each of you to contribute. No contribution is too small or TOO BIG!

Many thanks, Sharon Jessar, Village Planner and Jordan Rivkin, One Day Village Director

Please visit the sign-up sheet and let us know how you can help.

What is CISV and is it right for me?

CISV is a global community of dedicated volunteers, creating opportunities for all ages to experience the excitement and enrichment of cultural diversity through our educational programs.

We are founded on our belief that peace is possible through friendship -- and that the real difference can be made by starting with children.

CISV provides a range of unique, educational group activities, which develop cross-cultural understanding in children, youth and adults from around the world.

By encouraging respect for cultural difference and the development of self-awareness, CISV empowers each participant to incorporate these values into their lives as they become global citizens and strive for a more peaceful world.

CISV Philadelphia is one of 22 chapters of CISV USA. Since its founding in 1956, the Philadelphia Chapter has hosted international delegates every year from all the member nations.
