Take advantage of volunteering opportunities in your local community.

Volunteering in your local community

Being an Au Pair in America is a chance to live like a local, learn new skills and share your culture.

With our Global Awareness program, you can also volunteer in your community, help young children learn about the world, and make a positive difference during your time in the USA.

Travel time

What is the Global Awareness program?

Global Awareness is a volunteering program for au pairs. It helps children learn about other countries and cultures through fun and interactive sessions. As part of the program, you can visit:

Local schools

Community groups like Cubs, Brownies, or Scouts

Libraries and bookstores

You will talk to children about your home country, your traditions, and what life is like where you are from. Some au pairs even teach the children a few words from their native language.

“I’ve always wanted to travel and I love kids! Being an au pair in America is a great opportunity to do both.”

Malin, 20 – Sweden

Why Volunteering Matters

Why volunteering matters

Children are naturally curious about the world they live in. You can help them to develop that curiosity and learn about different cultures. Perhaps you will even inspire them to become au pairs in other countries when they grow up! 

Volunteering is also a great way for you to feel part of your community and make your au pair year even more special.

If you would like to take part in Global Awareness, we will help you plan your visit and give you ideas of what to share. It’s a fun and rewarding experience.
