Village/Faces Fun Day #1 2025 & CISV 101

January 11, 2025 @ 9:00 am - 11:30 pm

CISV Jacksonville conducts three events to select participants for its Village program (children born between September 1, 2013, and August 31, 2014) and Faces program (4th or 5th-grade students in the 2024-25 school year):

  1. Two Saturday Morning “Play Days”
  2. One Friday Night Overnight (Mandatory)

Attending more events increases the likelihood of selection. The overnight event is mandatory.

These selection events offer children a glimpse into CISV games and activities, provide parents with a deeper understanding of CISV’s educational principles and program specifics, and allow our chapter to familiarize itself with youth and leader applicants.

We also host a CISV “101” Info Session for adults to gain insights into CISV’s principles.

The Village and Faces Programs aim to foster understanding, communication, cooperation, and communal living. Selection criteria include a child’s maturity, openness to new experiences and people, enthusiasm for participation, and the ability to be away from family during the program. The composition of personalities within the delegation is also considered for a balanced mix.

Activities are typically planned and led by teenage leaders from the Junior Branch and experienced adult leaders. Planning selection events enables our chapter’s youth leaders to hone their leadership skills.

All Village applicants and their parents will undergo interviews during one of the selection events. While we prefer Village applicants to apply before the event, those seeking information are welcome to join without applying.
