About 50 CISV Villages of this kind are hosted annually world-wide, bringing youth of different nationalities together to inspire global friendships and cross-cultural understanding. Every year, the Vancouver chapter of CISV sends 11-year-old delegates to Villages in other countries as well as to a variety of camps for older youth in the program.
