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.

Famous quotes containing the words chapters and/or organization:
“Never did I read such tosh. As for the first two chapters we will let them pass, but the 3rd 4th 5th 6th—merely the scratching of pimples on the body of the bootboy at Claridges.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“The organization controlling the material equipment of our everyday life is such that what in itself would enable us to construct it richly plunges us instead into a poverty of abundance, making alienation all the more intolerable as each convenience promises liberation and turns out to be only one more burden. We are condemned to slavery to the means of liberation.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
