2027 Program Interest Survey

Help us determine our program needs for 2027! You do NOT have to be a member of CISV BV to fill this out- or even sure whether you want to travel. You can indicate your level of interest and preferences in the survey and we will reach out to answer any questions and share more info when we select our programs at the end of October!

Please respond by October 20th.

October Mosaic Project!

Rise Against Hunger

Join us to work as a team and package the ingredients to make a nourishing meal for someone in need! The Rise Against Hunger organization holds events all over to have volunteers help make thousands of meals for people who are experiencing severe food insecurity. The meals we help package at this event will then be distributed across the globe and assist remote communities who don't have access to nourishing meals. 

***Note that it will be at a different location than our event from January!

11AM - 1PM

St. Matthews Lutheran Church
