Give it up for the next Chapter of the Junior Branch!
We are introducing the newest members and positions for the 2026-27 JB Board. This will serve as a refresher on old positions, introducing new positions, and revealing our President the JB Board for this year.
Junior Branch Positions: Old & New
The JB Board is a committee of young CISV participants who shape the future of the Jacksonville Chapter.

Here Comes the President(s)!
The 2 Local Junior Representatives for the 2026-27 Junior Branch Board will be Alice Reisinger and Audrey Brown. Both of them are very excited and eager to let their ideas and creativity shine in this year of the Junior Branch. Alice and Audrey have given a statement for what they plan to do as the Presidents of the Jacksonville Chapter. “Audrey and I are very excited to be taking the roles of LJRs. We want to be good role models and leaders but also friends to the kids and teens in our Local Junior Branch. We hope to continue the work for our friends before us and make some improvements along the way. Peace education is so important for the youth to learn, and we really hope to spread the peace in our community!”
Expanding the Jacksonville Chapter
Even though the JB Board functions as a unit, members can also put their own ideas for CISV into action. The secretary of the Junior Branch Board — Isha Bala — is already putting her ideas into motion with her plan to start making CISV clubs across high schools. In fact, She is actively creating a CISV club in her own school — the Paxon School for Advanced Studies! If your child is interested on how they can do this for their own school, then refer them to these links below:
