Teen Volunteering

Our Volunteer Team is integral to the U City Library Summer Reading Program

Who can volunteer? U City Library asks that our summer reading program volunteers be entering at least the 7th Grade at the time that they volunteer.

What do our volunteers do?  Volunteers attend training in May, and then work at least one 1-hour shift per week for at least 4 weeks in May, June & July.

They also:
đź‘‚LISTEN to young readers and award them prizes                          đźŽŠWIN prizes for themselves
🥰MAKE friends and have fun                                                                đź‘ŤEARN community service hours

Volunteer Training takes place in late April and early May. Exact dates appear on the volunteer applications below.
