Cultural Care Kids First Foundation, or Kids First, is a charitable foundation established by Cultural Care Au Pair, an au pair organization based in Cambridge, MA. A non-profit 501(c)3 public charity, Kids First partners with small organizations all over the world to provide children in need with monetary contributions, necessary supplies and matched funds. Unique to Kids First is our goal to help at-risk children not only survive but to thrive. For this reason, our contributions most often fund projects that will enhance a child's ability to learn a new skill, realize a dream and to have fun.

We invite you to join the Cultural Care family—our office, field and Training School staff, host families and au pairs—to learn more about this amazing organization and support our Kids First fundraising efforts.

Fundraising for Kids First happens all over the world. Our Boston Cultural Care office has produced an international cook book, a children's CD, and has organized dance parties for au pairs.

Cultural Care's overseas offices are some of our biggest contributors. Through bake sales, 5K races, donations from au pairs, and many other initiatives, they have raised over $10,000.

The teachers at the Au Pair Training school on Long Island donate all proceeds from their "Snack Shack" to Kids First - over $8,000 every year.

Our Local Coordinators in the United States have organized hundreds of fundraising events for Kids First with the help of local au pairs and host families including bake sales, yard sales, scavenger hunts, Mother's Day events, and safety events.

The best part of all is that everyone has a lot of fun while knowing that they are doing a great thing for a good cause.

All donations go to the children and are 100% matched by Cultural Care Au Pair. We are in close contact with the projects we support and post updates regularly on Facebook and Twitter.
