Want to develop your leadership skills while having fun helping to plan and promote Library programs, events and materials for teens? The mandatory orientation will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 22, 7–8:30 p.m., followed by in-person meetings on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month, until Dec. 1. You will have the option of re-registering in December for the January – June session of TAC.
Want to get your hands on YA titles before they’re released to the public? Do you like the idea of earning volunteer hours on a flexible schedule? Become a teen verified book reviewer and get a chance to read and review the newest books! This is a great opportunity to spread the word about your favourite new books and help us recommend the best titles for teens.
Teen Room Bulletin Board Designers create eye-catching, informative displays for our Teen Room. Display themes are decided by your Teen Advisory Council, and are up for at least a month. Teens get full credit for hours dedicated to their work – from idea generation to display setup. They can work on their designs at home, or in the Teen Room during teen time. No need to purchase your own supplies! Participants should be available the first Wednesday of the month from September to December, from 3:30 to 5 p.m. (Sept. 9, Oct. 7, Nov. 4 and Dec. 2).
Would you like to help students in grades 4–7 with homework, reading or English conversation skills after school? We are looking for tutors for our Study Stars program, which will take place on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. This opportunity requires attendance at an orientation on Sept. 23, followed by six sessions: Oct. 7, 14 and 21, Nov. 18, 25, and Dec. 2.
Help with a variety of events and one-off volunteer opportunities in the library. You can choose which opportunities you help with. Events include fundraisers, writing contest award celebrations, designing artwork for promotional materials, etc. When you sign up for this list you will also receive information about volunteer opportunities for youth in the community. If you are new to volunteering with the library, you will complete a self-paced orientation.
