CISV Friends

Everyone who participates in a CISV program must pre-register on CISV Friends. This website has been created to help you stay connected with your friends and with CISV – a type of “village” where you can meet friends, learn about the latest CISV activities, and join in with your comments and creativity. Eventually, this is how CISV will communicate with you. The Friends Guide PowerPoint presentation gives full details about the site.

  • Read through the Registration, Terms and Conditions of Use of the website. Scroll to the bottom and click Accept
  • Complete the registration form in full
  • Click on Register and your registration request will be sent to the site
  • You will then be sent a confirmation email to the address you provided
  • Follow the instructions in that email to confirm your registration and receive your password

Consider volunteering as an Activity Manager. The position of an Activity Manager is an important key to the success of CISV Friends. It is a voluntary, unpaid position. Activity Managers facilitate the use of CISV Friends by helping users to resolve their problems related to the proper use of CISV Friends. Activity Managers will approve the users’ claims to activities according to set rules. See the Activity Manager Manual for further details.
