Interchange
“This year’s interchange to Graz, Austria
is one of my favorite CISV experiences so far!
I loved making new friends from both chapters,
seeing the beautiful country of Austria, and
sharing our home and culture with the Graz delegates.“
— Ian, Interchange delegate
“Having the chance to live with a wonderful family in Austria
and get immersed in their culture
was an experience I will never forget.
It was icing on the cake
to get to show my delegate
the same hospitality at home.
I made lifelong friends through the program
and look forward to doing it again next summer!“
— Casey, Interchange delegate
“The friends I made,
made this interchange an experience of a lifetime.“

Step Up
“Representing USA in Italy this summer with CISV Step Up
taught me more about cultural and global perspectives
and how I can relate to people my age all over the world.”
— Tula, Step Up delegate
“This experience at Step Up made me appreciate
all that we have in the United States.
Personally, it was a life-changing dream. ”
– – Luke, Step Up delegate
“How do I sum up a whole month in a few sentences?
The connections I made with the people in Denmark
will make a lasting impact on my life and
I hope to apply the lessons I learned in the coming years.”
— Kate, Step Up delegate
“My step-up experience in Denmark was everything I could’ve asked for and more. I have so many amazing memories from step-up, but one of my favourites is the day of gala night! We made the camp video that day, which was a lot of fun to create, and everyone chipped in to pick flowers, clean, and get the campsite ready for Gala Night. We had s’mores, cards, snacks, dancing, and a great time overall!”

Seminar
and I am honored to have shared it with
such incredible people from around the world.
Never in my life have I become so close so fast
with a group of my peers and
being able to grow with them,
laugh with them, cry with them,
and just be with them
was a tremendous honor.
I wish the camp had been three times longer and
I will forever be grateful to CISV for giving me the opportunity
to learn so much about myself and the world we live in.”
– Tyler, Tennessee Seminar Delegate“I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The lack of preordained structure allows for real creativity
on the part of the participants, which I really appreciated.”
– Nico, Belo Horizonte Brazil Seminar Delegate
