Participants read lessons, write, share resources, network with one another, and collaborate on special projects. They explore web links, play games, and take virtual field trips, all designed to further their understanding of U.S. culture. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;font-size: x-small\"><\/p>\n<p>The Community Involvement segment of the program takes au pairs into face-to-face contact with the community. Au pairs are required to do a Global Awareness presentation, volunteer at local organizations, and participate in historical and cultural activities. Au pairs will relate these experiences to their academic coursework. A follow-up writing assignment will consist of a reflection on the community-based experience.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: x-small\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;font-size: x-small\">Participants who successfully complete the program receive 6 quarter units (4 semester units) and earn a certificate of completion from UCLA Extension.<\/p>\n<p>Participants also have access to a UCLA Extension transcript, should they wish to request articulation of this program into a degree program at another college or university.<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;font-size: 11px;line-height: 13px\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11px;line-height: 13px;font-family: Arial\"><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: x-small\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;font-size: small\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;font-size: x-small\">For more information, please contact Seydy Ortiz at (310) 206-6671 or email\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:sortiz@uclaextension.edu\">sortiz@uclaextension.edu<\/a>.
