CISV Jacksonville selects youth for its Faces program (for kids in 4th or 5th grade in the 2023-24 school year).
Selection events provide children with a firsthand experience of CISV games and activities, offer parents insights into CISV’s educational principles and program specifics, and allow our chapter to familiarize itself with youth and leader applicants.
We also invite adults to a CISV “101” Info Session to delve deeper into CISV’s principles.
The Faces Programs aim to cultivate an understanding of each other’s lives and foster 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 delegation’s personality mix is also considered.
Activities are typically planned and led by teenage leaders from the Junior Branch and experienced adult delegation leaders. Planning selection events provides our youth leaders with an opportunity to practice and enhance their leadership skills.
