Giving Tuesday – A Day of Radical Generosity

On December 2nd, the world will come together for a day of radical giving known as Giving Tuesday. At Children’s International Summer Villages – Midwest Ohio Chapter, we know that change starts with people like you. People who have personally experienced or sent their child(ren) to a program like Village, Youth Meeting, Step Up, Fortnight, Seminar, and mini-camp.. People who have served as Planners, Leaders, Staff, Junior Counselors, givers, and doers for these programs. People who have gained life-long leadership skills from serving on our Junior Branch Leadership Board. People who have engaged in Mosaic, National Service Projects, and local service initiatives. People who have volunteered countless hours for an organization they believe provides our community’s youth with the knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, and belief of a grand concept far greater than themselves. People who are the catalysts of change toward peace! People like YOU!

Every act of kindness, every dollar, and every moment of your time brings us closer to achieving our mission of educating and inspiring action for a more just and peaceful world. Together, let’s transform the world into active global citizens. Together, we can create a brighter, more compassionate, and peaceful world for all. Together, we will create lasting friendships, in line with the founding belief that peace is possible through friendship and mutual understanding.

How you can help power our mission:
1. Give: Join the Giving Tuesday movement on December 2nd, and reimagine a world built upon shared humanity and generosity. Every dollar counts toward our ambitious $5,000 goal! No gift is too big. No gift is too small. All Giving Tuesday gifts will be earmarked for our 2026 National Chapter Support Fees, International Membership Fees, and National Junior Branch Dues which will total $6,819. In the past, these costs were passed on to our delegates, and we would like to end that process.

2. Ask: Ask your employer if they will match your generosity.

3. Share: Share our Giving Tuesday campaign with your friends, family, and on social media. Your advocacy can amplify our impact.

4. Volunteer: Your time and skills can make an impact too. We have all sorts of volunteer opportunities for you, your family, and your children. Email us at midwestohio@cisvusa.org to learn more!

Thank you for supporting our mission. Your support is invaluable!
