Dublin Library Teen Volunteer Orientation - Teen Volunteer Orientation

All teens aged 13 and older who are interested in working as an in-person volunteer at the library are required to attend an orientation prior to any volunteer activities. Orientation sessions are available three times a year: at the beginning of Fall, Spring, and Summer. 
 
How to Sign Up for an Orientation Session:
  • Fill out a volunteer application using the link on the right of this page that says, "Fill in an application", if you don't have an account already for Better Impact. 
  • You will be notified by email when orientation sessions become available.
  • Sign up for only one orientation session.
 
Orientation Rules: 
  • All teens must self-register for their orientation session. No one will be automatically registered.
  • Teens may only attend one orientation session per season.
  • Teens must arrive for orientation no later than five minutes after the posted start time. Teens arriving later will not be admitted, and will be required to complete a different orientation session before being eligible to volunteer in person. 
 
Details about In-Person Volunteering:
  • In-person volunteers help library staff prepare, pilot, and present library programs. Opportunities for in-person volunteering will be posted by our librarians as needed.
  • After completing an orientation session, teens can sign up for volunteer opportunities using the Better Impact system. 
  • If a teen completes an orientation session but does not sign up for and work at least one volunteer opportunity in a season, they must complete another orientation at the beginning of the next season to maintain their volunteer eligibility.
