The Teen Volunteer Program allows young people to support their local library while gaining community service hours, building their resume, and developing leadership and communication skills. Volunteers assist library staff with a variety of tasks. Volunteering at the library is a great way for teens to give back to the community, explore career interests (especially in education or library sciences), and make new friends in a welcoming environment. Be a part of something great—volunteer today!
The following opportunities are available at this time:
To get started, please fill out the Teen Volunteer Application. In your application, you’ll have the opportunity to let us know which roles you are interested in. You can absolutely volunteer in more than one role and at more than one time. Not all applications may be selected as volunteers. Volunteer opportunities are dependent on the needs of the library and more opportunities may be available at certain times and not others. Once the application has been completed we will contact you with a date and time to come into the library for an orientation.
Please note that we will respond to you as soon as possible. The library is closed Sundays and Mondays which can delay response if you complete the application on the weekend.
This program strives to prepare our volunteers for their first job(s), as well as to support the library while gaining community service hours. We feel that the more responsibility that our volunteers have in successfully completing their tasks, the better prepared you will be when you apply for jobs and enter the workforce. When at all possible, it should be the volunteer themselves to call, email, organize and initiate! Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
