The Chattanooga Chapter of Children’s International Summer Villages (CISV) is planning its 2006 programs for youth from 11 to 18.
CISV was established in 1951 as a non-profit volunteer organization that offers children and adults the opportunity to learn about other cultures and form friendships with people from around the world.
This coming summer, children from the Chattanooga area who will be 11 at least one day between June 1 and Aug. 31, 2006 are eligible to attend a Village program either in Lisbon, Portugal or Vestsjaelland, Denmark.
Delegations of 11-year-olds—two boys, two girls and an adult leader—from at least 10 different countries will come together for three weeks in a village setting to form lasting friendships. The chapter also is seeking adult leaders over the age of 21 to travel with the two delegations.
Thirteen- and 14-year-olds are invited to apply for an Interchange program in St. Gregoire, Canada, a town in Quebec. Delegates will spend two weeks together in Canada and two weeks in Chattanooga with a short break in between the two sessions. Delegates will travel with an adult leader and stay with host families.
The chapter also announced openings for 16- or 17-year-old boys interested in being Junior Counselors at CISV Villages in Milan, Italy or Baguio City, Philippines; an opening for a 17- or 18-year-old girl interested in a three-week Seminar Camp in Perth, Australia that starts in late December 2006; and an opening for a boy or girl 19 or older for a one-week International Youth Meeting in April in Copenhagen, Denmark in April, 2006.
Applications for summer programs are due Jan. 15, 2006. For more information, please visit www.cisvchattanooga.com or contact local recruiting chairs Catherine Long, 886-6098 or Rachel Schulson, 266-5362.
