Teen Volunteer Sessions at the library are currently not being offered.
If you are in grades 6 through 12 and interested in volunteering, here is how it works:
We have 3 volunteer sessions per year; if you want to volunteer for one of these sessions, you need to submit an online application prior to the deadline for that session.
The 3 sessions run as follows:
a fall session that runs September through January (with online applications due around mid/end August)
a winter session that runs February through April ( with online applications due around mid-January)
a summer session that runs June through August (with online applications due around mid/end May). Summer volunteers are only open to teens that have completed 6th grade (entering grades 7 through 12 in the fall).
Winter Teen Volunteers
Winter teen volunteers (grades 6 through 12) will be scheduled for the same shift (ie. every other Monday afternoon) for the session. This session begins February 1 and runs through the end of April. Application deadline is 8pm on Friday, January 20, 2022.
Volunteer tasks include: keeping the Youth Area straightened up & clean, helping cut & prepare materials for youth crafts, and cleaning early literacy activities/toys. We will be counting on you to remember when your shift is and work independently once you understand the tasks you are assigned.
Apply online here! Applications will be reviewed and selected volunteers will be contacted by January 27, 2022. If selected to be a volunteer, you will receive a booklet with more details about what to expect. When completing the application, select the shifts for which you are available and will work best with your schedule. You won’t be selected for more than one shift so select as many shifts as will work with your schedule.
