Announcing the winners of the 2017 Au Pair Community Service Awards!

3rd Place: Grace Naude

In addition to the Grand Prize Winners at the national level, Au Pair in America awarded fourteen winners of 2017 Au Pair Community Service Awards at the local level:
The greatest rewards of community service are intrinsic: the good feelings you get from helping others and the personal connections you make. It is an honor to acknowledge—and celebrate—the good works of so many fantastic au pairs.
Thanks to all of the au pairs that shared stories about volunteering across America and congratulations to this year’s winners.
