Teen Community Service Hour Opportunities

 

You know you need community service hours, and you can get them at your Broward County Library. Want to have a good time, make friends, and fulfill your school requirements? Sign up at one of our Teen Volunteer Orientations and get all the details. Volunteering at the library is also a great way to get real-life work experience, enhance your resume, or give a boost to your college applications.

Generally, teen volunteers work in the library's Youth Services Section where they keep busy doing any number of activities.

• Tutor younger children in reading and math
• Help Youth Service librarians with programs
• Assist with arts-and-craft activities
• Shelve books and other materials
• Perform simple administrative tasks

Teens & Special Events

Along with the day-to-day activities at the library, teens have the chance to participate as volunteers in a number of award-winning special events and programs. Each year, Broward County Library holds two major events that celebrate children and reading, the Children's BookFest in April and the StoryBook Festival in November. At these fun-filled happenings, teens can help with games and activities, dress as costumed characters, assist library staff - and get a free t-shirt!
