Chapters and The CISV Organization
The International Office of CISV is located in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. While critical administration for international programmes takes place at the Office, the vast majority of organizational work is done at the local "chapter" level.
Each of CISV's 62 countries has a national association, which oversees and supports municipal chapters. Besides the Executive Boards, local chapters have Junior Branches, youth-based groups that has the goals of building community among its members, developing skills and attitude that are relevant to accomplish the goals of CISV. Aside from the International Office staff, CISV is entirely volunteer-run.
