Abstract
Established in the Midwest in the late 1940's by Dr. Doris Allen of the University of Cincinnati, Children's International Summer Villages (CISV) is a worldwide youth organization dedicated to peace and better global understanding. This article focuses on its creation and the ideas behind CISV, plus it documents the organizational work undertaken to open the first international children's summer camp in suburban Cincinnati, Ohio in 1951. Although multiculturalism is a contemporary expression, it can be seen historically that CISV represents a precursor to our current efforts in multicultural education.
