LPI Learning has partnered with the Cultural Exchange Project, to provide young people from around the world to become au pairs in countries other than the United States. The au pair experience is the most affordable way for young people to experience international education and travel. Au pairs provide their host family with child care in return for a weekly stipend and room and board. As a result, the cost of participation in an au pair experience is a fraction of the expense of independent travel, study abroad or group travel programs. Au pairs are placed for a minimum of 3 months, with most requiring 6 to 12 month placements, which results in a deep cultural immersion experience for program participants.
