CISV was founded in the belief that peace is possible through building friendship and mutual understanding, starting with children. We help our young participants develop to their full potential as future leaders and active citizens, to make a difference in their communities and the world. We also give them the opportunity to build global friendships and networks that will last them a lifetime.
About CISV Maine
The Maine Chapter, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, has been in operation since 1986 and is fully run by volunteers. Our chapter is one of 26 chapters across the country that make up CISV USA, which is a member of CISV International with 69 countries and 200 chapters across the globe.
Our objective is to select youth and adult delegates to participate in all available CISV Travel Programs and to promote Mosaic Projects which further CISV goals. In order for Maine to offer outbound experiences, we are required to host reciprocal programs locally for students who are members of CISV chapters worldwide.
