Volunteer Opportunities
Teen Volunteer Club
Meet new people, contribute to various community-service projects, and earn volunteer service hours!

Activities vary monthly and all supplies are provided.
This group is open to teens in grades 7-12 and meets on the second Tuesday of the month from 6-8 pm in the children’s area of the library.

Looking to earn some community service credit from home? Consider the Teen Voice Blog! For every post you write, you'll earn 1 hour of community service credit. If you participate in a library or city event and write about it for the blog, you'll earn 2 hours of credit. Blog signups are ongoing, so fill out an application if interested!
Teen Advisory Board
