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.

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.”
Juliana Laranjeira – Secretary
“I’ve been a CISVer since 1986 when my family co-founded the CISV chapter in my hometown of Salvador-BA, Brazil. I was part of the first JB in Salvador and participated in many local activities and programs. CISV had a great, positive impact in my life. I’m grateful that now my kids get to experience CISV while I also continue my journey as the Miami Chapter Secretary. Once a CISVer, always a CISVer!”
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”
Luis Lopez – JB Advisor
“I’m Luis Lopez, a proud member of CISV Miami for over six fantastic years. At 22, I’m currently majoring in Public Policy, gearing up for a career in law. As the JB Board advisor, I’m thrilled to embark on this journey, and I already feel that the upcoming year will be packed with amazing activities and events. Last summer, I had the privilege of leading a CISV Step Up in Madrid. It enriched my life, and I’m excited to bring that same spirit of growth and discovery to our Miami chapter. Let’s make this year unforgettable!”
Eduardo Hernandez – Co Treasurer
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 / Co-Planner
“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 National Interchange Coordinator for CISV USA.”
