Au Pairs will volunteer once again this year for the Providence Preservation Society’s Festival of Historic Houses, their annual fundraising event, now in its 33rd year. This year’s festival will be held on Friday, June 1; Saturday, June 2; and Sunday, June 3. Friday evening, June 1, will feature a candlelight tour between 6-9 p.m. Saturday, June 2, will be the “traditional” tour of private houses from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., focusing on Elmgrove Avenue on the East Side of Providence. On Sunday, June 3, the focus shifts to the Jewelry District, between 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Rhode Island au pairs from Colombia, Czech Rebublic, Germany, Turkey and the Ukraine will be working together as house guides. They will be welcoming and providing information to tour guests, and will answer any questions that guests may have about the history and architecture of the houses.
