Volunteer Opportunities for Teens Ages 12-17
The teen application window is only open at the beginning of the school year (August) and before summer (April).
The deadline to apply to volunteer in the 2026-2027 School Year has passed. Please check back in April 2027 to apply for Summer 2027 teen volunteer opportunities.
For those who have already applied for the 2026-2027 School Year:
What we ask of our volunteers:
- Teens will be asked to volunteer at least 6 hours each quarter (October-December & January-March), keeping in mind that most shifts are one-hour shifts.
- Teens must register for notifications through Remind (https://www.remind.com/join/beack7) to learn about upcoming shifts and communicate scheduling changes or issues with library staff. Remind is a communication platform used by schools and organizations that allows youth to receive official messages via an app on a smart device, a web browser, or through email. Parents are encouraged to sign up to receive notifications as well.
- We will send out a Google Form with available shifts through Remind. You sign up for the ones you want to work.
- Teens must read the duties and expectations document and agree to uphold them to the best of their abilities.
Teens who turn in their application will be called for a short phone interview in which they will be asked questions to assess the candidate’s demeanor, dependability, and understanding of the library’s requirements. (Teens who have volunteered previously are exempt from the interview requirement unless otherwise notified, but must turn in an application.)
Upcoming Orientation Sessions:
ALL teen volunteers new to school-year volunteering must attend one orientation/training session before you are able to volunteer. Choose to attend either Thursday, October 1 at 4:30 PM or Saturday, October 3 at 1:00 PM. Orientation usually lasts approximately 30-45 minutes.
