Apply for Programs

UPDATE: For 2022 programs

If you are interested in applying for any of these programs (including Seminar), you must contact Marsha Brofka-Berends ASAP at brandywine-recruitment@cisvusa.org. She will then send you the application packet and the COVID guidelines from CISV International; please read through all of those documents carefully.

(Note that all applications require letters of reference—which are due by the application deadline—so please plan accordingly.)

If you or your child plan to apply for a program, please notify our recruitment committee at brandywine-recruitment@cisvusa.org before you submit the application.

“The application period for all summer 2020 programs is now CLOSED. We are still accepting applications for our winter 2020 Individual Youth Meeting program.”

Please send all required forms – application and references – (electronic submissions are strongly preferred) directly to brandywine-recruitment@cisvusa.org. Please refer to our Application Instructions, included in all program applications, for more detailed instructions on how to apply for a program.

Brandywine Valley CISV is dedicated to welcoming youth with all experiences. LGBTQ kids, kids of all abilities and backgrounds, and kids who struggle to fit in at school will all be welcomed with open hearts by the CISV community.
