APIA Community Service Award

We are thrilled to announce the 2013 winners of our first Community Service Award competition.  We asked au pairs to tell us about their volunteer experience in the United States.  We identified state winners and 3 national winners, 15 in total.  All au pairs who submitted entries will receive a certificate to acknowledge their contribution to the community.  Winners will receive an Amazon gift card and an engraved award.

This is has been a great project and we hope to do it on an annual basis going forward. It’s such a good feeling to recognize the au pairs who really embrace the experience and give back to their communities, they are true ambassadors of their countries.  Read the winning entries on the website:
