Attention Parent/Guardian
It is highly recommended that your teen is responsible for all correspondence regarding the Teen Volunteer Program; starting with the application process and continuing throughout their volunteer service. This program strives to prepare your child for their first job.
We feel that the more responsibility that volunteers have in the successful execution of completing their service, the better prepared they will be to apply for jobs and enter the work force. When at all possible, please ask your teen to call, email, organize, and initiate! Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Want to be a leader and influence your community library? Do you feel passionate about making our community a better place? Then join the Teen Advisory Group (TAG)!
TAG runs from October to the end of May. Alongside giving feedback on teen library programs, TAG will:
- Identify a community need/issue
- Research that issue (for example, interviewing friends, family, or neighbors)
- Develop a way that the library can address that need/issue (for example, buying more books, bringing in a guest artist or teacher, etc.)
- Create a public awareness campaign
TAG meets in the evening on the first and third Tuesday of the month at the Main Library (some meetings will be virtual); we ask that TAG members commit to the whole year*. Receive volunteer credit for meetings and for work done outside the meetings.
Apply
Apply by October 5. First meeting will be September 13
Further Information
If you have any questions, email the Teen Librarian.
Please note: We understand if life sometimes gets in the way, and you cannot attend 100% of meetings! However, TAG's success as a group depends on consistent attendance and regular communication.
