Au Pairs Volunteer for Providence Preservation Society Spring Festival of Historic Homes
The 2011 Providence Preservation Society Festival of Historic Houses will take place on Saturday, June 4, 2011, and several au pairs will be volunteering for the event! The Spring Festival of Historic Houses is an annual fundraising event sponsored by the Providence Preservation Society — this year’s tour will feature homes on and around Blackstone Boulevard. Rhode Island au pairs and their community counselor 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 house. When their volunteer shift is over, au pairs will have the opportunity to take the tour themselves, and to visit some of the most extraordinary homes on the East Side of Providence.
