Each month, our Au Pair USA Local Coordinators arrange meetings and social events for au pairs.
Recent events included:

 

City of Roses Guided Bus Tour through Portland
Portland, OR is called the "City of Roses" because of it's beautiful parks and landscapes, and this fun-filled bus tour was the perfect way to see the city. We saw Portland's Chinatown district, Portland's Old Town District, Portland's Waterfront Park (complete with fountains, and floating maritime museum), Portland's forested West hills over looking Portland and Mt. Hood, and the famous Japanese Garden.

 

 

 

The Broadway Musical “Wicked”
This amazing broadway show was quite an experience for the au pairs in our group! WICKED is a musical based on "the untold story" of the witches of Oz. The au pairs loved the music and stage sets, and we all left the theater humming the songs.

 

 

 

 

 

Paint Your Own Pottery Day
More craft events for the au pairs. We spent a fun filled afternoon at one of Portland’s finest pottery & clay studios, where our au pair group gathered to create some wonderful original masterpiece “keepsakes” from the USA!

 

 

 

 

 

Charity/Crafts Event
This month our au pairs participated in a fun community service project called Journey Beads. Journey Beads is a program for Legacy Emanuel Children’s Hospital Cancer and Blood Disorders Programs in Portland, Oregon. Our au pair group worked diligently to design and create a variety of beads and pendants that are given to chlidren with cancer. They used broken glass and torch work to create beads that spell the children's names.
