What is CISV?
CISV is global community of dedicated volunteers, creating opportunities for all ages to experience the excitement and enrichment of striving to make this world a better place through educational programs designed to promote peace and understanding. We believe that peace is possible through friendship and that the real difference can be made starting with the children. That is why we work and play hard to give kids a better understanding of what 'peace' really means.
CISV educates and inspires action for a more just and peaceful world. CISV believes that the more we understand and cooperate with people of other cultures, the more just and peaceful our communities and our world become.

What is the JB -- Junior Branch?
Peace Education is a global movement. Junior Branches are an international network of young volunteers taking local action, while inspiring and enabling others to do the same. Based in our Chapters, Junior Branches are self-governing groups that organize educational activities and support Peace Education campaigns and events throughout the year. While each Junior Branch group is different, they all work towards common goals and strive to build inclusive communities.
