Our Team

Our team includes the Board of Directors and the Junior Branch Executive, which are both composed of many enthusiastic volunteers who really believe in the values of CISV. The Board manages the day-to-day operations of our chapter and our participation in international programs. Our Junior Branch plans all of the local monthly activities that keep our community connected and inspired throughout the year.

We are always looking for new volunteers and there are a variety of positions available, each with different levels of commitment. For more information, please contact us at info@cisvwaterloo.org.
