Teen Volunteers
STUDENTS AGE 14 AND OLDER – DID YOU KNOW?
This is an opportunity for students who plan to apply for college admission, to earn community service hours.
WHAT WE OFFER:
- Job related experience
- An opportunity to work with the public in a real world environment
- Verification of hours worked that may be used in certificate/portfolio/resume
What We Require:
- A commitment of at least 2 hours per week or 36 hours per school semester. Students may only work a maximum of 4 hours per day when working special events.
- Dependability. Please be punctual for your scheduled shift and call the library at 512-858-7825 if you are unable to work. Teens that are absent and have not notified the library will be noted as “absent without notification” on the volunteer schedule. More than 3 “absent without notification” will result in losing eligibility to volunteer that semester.
- Eligibility and extra-curricular activities. Volunteers participating in extracurricular activities must work at minimum of 2 out of 4 scheduled Saturdays during a month to remain active on the Saturday shift. Shifts can be made up by working a different shift day or doubling a Saturday shift. Staff must be notified of these schedule changes.
- Dress code: the library follows the prescribed DSISD campus dress code.
- Shelving and Reading Buddy candidates will be required to attend an orientation session and will earn volunteer hour credits for those orientation sessions.
Teen application forms are available at the Dripping Springs Community Library, and may be printed out here.
For more information, please call the Volunteer Coordinator, Carly Hardcastle at 512-858-7825 or email volunteers@dscl.org
