CISV Maine (Childrens International Summer Village http://maine.cisvusa.org/ ) is hosting a "Step up" program this July 8th-30th in the Bangor -Brewer area--15 year old youth from 9 different countries will be living, learning together, building international relationships and peace building skills. We are looking for several families to host a delegation--2 girls, 2 boys and their leader (or just 2 youth, if you prefer or have space limitations) for the weekend of July 8-10th.There are several steps required in order to be granted the privilege to host a CISV delegation (it really is amazing, if you haven't ever done it!)--which is why we are starting early with this process.

To give a few details, a host family's responsibility is to pick up the delegation or 2 of the youth around 5pm or later on Fri July 8th--bring them to the program site to get checked in (in the Bangor -Brewer area), and then take them to your home for the weekend--for sleeping, sightseeing and shopping (going to Bangor Mall is always one of the requests!).

Let me know if you may be interested and/or if you have any questions! 

Beds for all are not required--sleeping pads and bedding, and enough comfortable space is fine. 

If you decide you are interested, we will start with doing background checks and I will meet with all families for an interview and information session.  If you know of anyone else who may be interested in hosting, please let me know. Or if you cant host, but are up for helping out in a limited way during the 3 weeks they are here--like providing snacks one day or helping serve a meal or doing some laundry--let me know--every little bit will help!   

Looking forward to hearing from you!
