Become a Teen Volunteer at the Library
Got some extra time on your hands? Why not become a TeVo (Teen Volunteer) at the library? This is a great opportunity for teens (grades 7-12) to do community service while working at the library. Based on your application, TeenSpace will match your skills and interests to particular jobs as they become available within the library.
Being a teen volunteer may not result in a regularly scheduled weekly volunteer job at the library. As volunteer opportunities develop, teen volunteers will be contacted about those projects matching their interests and skills.
