2025-01-11 09:00 - 11:30 | Hendricks Ave. Baptist Church Fellowship Hall, 4001 Hendricks Ave., Jacksonville, 32207, United States
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):

Two Saturday Morning “Play Days”
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.

What is a Village Camp?
The CISV Village programme is a four-week camp that brings together children from 11 countries to live, play, and learn together, building friendships and understanding across language and cultural differences. This summer, Jacksonville is hosting 44 eleven-year-old youth from eleven countries for our month-long Village camp. Our international guests represent China, Denmark, Ecuador, Guatemala, Iceland, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and the USA.
What is Open Day?
At Open Day, each delegation will present their culture through traditional dances and performances, followed by an interactive expo where guests can engage with the children and learn about their countries. This family-friendly event offers our community a unique opportunity to welcome these young international visitors.
Where is Open Day?
Open Day will take place in the Riverside neighborhood of Jacksonville. The exact venue details will be sent to all registered participants upon completion of their registration.
