Youth Volunteers

From planning, decorating and staffing teen after-hours events and clubs to building valuable career skills and making new friends, the opportunities for volunteering at JCPL are endless! Scroll down to find the opportunity that best suits you!

Teen Advisory Board (TAB)

If you are passionate about sharing your voice with your Library and community, TAB might be just the volunteering opportunity for you. You'll work directly with other teens and teen librarians in planning and leading JCPL programs, organizing community service projects and providing input on library books and materials. Please note this is a long-term commitment position. TAB groups regularly meet once a month, and you'll have the opportunity to volunteer with programs and other projects as the need arises.

Other Opportunities

During the school year, we offer casual, drop-in volunteer days for youths aged 12 - 18 who are completing volunteer time for school, clubs or community service. No application or registration is required to participate in drop-in volunteer hours. Please bring any paperwork you need to be signed with you!

Teen Volunteer Days are currently unavailable. Please check back in the fall for future dates.
