We started in October 2015 with four families, all of whom were long time CISVers. The families had participated in CISV programs while living in Mexico, Italy, Costa Rica and Brazil. We were very happy to finally launch the Miami, Florida Chapter. Many years later, we are a thriving Chapter setting the standards for commitment, hard work and lots of CISV spirit!

Board Members
Alessia Zoso – President
“Hi! I am the Miami Chapter chair for 2021-2024. I am from a small town in the North of Italy, and I moved to the USA to continue my studies and my career as an immunologist.
I’ve been involved with CISV because I think it is a great growth opportunity for my kids, but CISV gave me so much more back: lifelong friends, renewed confidence, and life skills and talents that I didn’t know I had.”
Lisa Li Celorio – Secretary
“My name is Lisa, I’m from Miami and I am half Chinese, half Cuban. I work at The Wolfsonian-FIU, an art & design museum, and recently started a family blog to encourage parents to travel with their children. I love exploring and learning about new places and want my children to be introduced to different cultures and ideas. When I heard about CISV and its mission and values a few years ago, I knew I wanted my children and family to become a part of this wonderful community.”
Leticia Keremian – Risk Manager
“CISV has been a part of my life for over 30 years. Thanks to CISV I made great friends, met amazing people and had unforgettable experiences. It makes me happy to now be able to share CISV with my family, and contribute to the Miami Chapter.”
Eduardo Hernandez – Co Treasurer
“Hi, I am Eduardo, I have been in CISV since I was 11 when I participated in a village, since then I have been very active in CISV, as a participant in seminar camps, leader in villages, staff in Christmas meetings and as a board member in CISV Mexico City and Miami, where I am a co-founder. My 3 sons and my wife have been also very active, as participants, leaders and staff. I love CISV!”
Sanjeev Shah – Co Treasurer
“My name is Sanjeev Shah and my family and I are privileged to be part of CISV Miami. Professionally, I am an Engineer and an attorney – and have been involved in the development and delivery of aviation and urban/regional programs. Personally, I have learned a lot from my fellow CISVers and I look forward to forging deeper friendships with all of you. Thank you for the opportunity to be of service. Onwards!”
Josie Stevens – Trustee / JB Liaison
“Hello! I’ve been in CISV since I was 21 years old, and I went to a Village as a leader. Since then, I have been leader in different camps, staff and participant in Christmas’ meeting.
I am a founder of CISV Miami and the former National Interchange Coordinator for CISV USA.”
Camila Bonfiglioli – Planner
“I am a proud CISVer since I was 10 years old in the São Paulo, Brazil Chapter. I had the privilege of being in a Village, Youth Meeting, Step Up, Interchange, JC and Seminar Camp. Now I am more than happy to be a mom of three CISVers and honored to help the Miami Chapter as a Planner.”
