About Volunteering

What can I do to help?

By getting involved as a EurAupair Volunteer Community Counselor, you will be making a difference in the world – one young person at a time. As a EurAupair Community Counselor, you'll be that all-important point person for au pairs placed in your area during their year abroad, and for the host families in your area during their program year. Counselor, advocate and friend are just some of the roles you will play as you oversee the EurAupair program in your area and help the au pairs and host families get the most out of their year together.

What Are Some of the Responsibilities of a EurAupair Community Counselor?

As a trained EurAupair Community Counselor, you'll receive on-going support from your EurAupair Area Coordinator and Regional Director as you take on a variety of challenging roles! Not only will you help young people from around the world, you will also get to know better the families in your own area. In addition, you will expand your circle of community contacts by establishing relationships with local business, civic groups, clubs and other organizations as you promote awareness of the EurAupair Program in your area. Take a look at just some of the skills you'll use and responsibilities you'll have.

Public relations:

Become a "P.R." person for EurAupair in your community by promoting the program to recruit new host families

Interviewing:

Interview and screen prospective host families

Training:

Conduct host family and au pair orientations

Counseling:

Offer support and guidance to au pairs and host families throughout their exchange year

Coordinating:
