Volunteer Opportunities for Teens
|
|
APPLY NOW to Volunteer During June at the Dripping Springs Community Library! Volunteers, teen and adult, are always needed at the local public library. During the summer, they are vital! Volunteers shelve, mentor young readers, operate Reading Prize Central (the library's summer reading redemption store), and assist with summer events while earning community service hours. No experience is necessary; training is provided. Teen volunteers must be at least 14 years of age and truly willing to help. Dripping Springs Community Library is happy to work with your summer schedule but must plan ahead. To make sure you have job assignment choices, turn in your completed application before school is out. If you are ready to volunteer in June, plan to attend an orientation program on Saturday, June 8, 2013 or 11 AM if possible. Another orientation will be held on Saturday, June 29, 2013 for July volunteers. Contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Pat Galvin: pat@dscl.org or apply with our volunteer form here. |
