Teen Volunteer for In Person Volunteering
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 this page.
- 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.
