Do you need volunteering hours for school? Have you always wanted to work at a library? Maybe you’re just looking for a fun way to give back. We’re looking for teens like you to help prepare crafts and materials for programs, organize and clean supplies, make photocopies, cut paper and more.
All volunteers must be in grades 6–12.
Registration opens three weeks before a volunteering opportunity.
We do not accept court-ordered or court-supervised community service.
Space is limited.
Teens are limited to a maximum of 3 hours per day.
Do you need volunteering hours? We’re introducing a fun, new way to give back. Submit a book review to earn service hours! We’re looking for book recommendations from our teen readers to post on our blog, website and social media. You’ll receive one service hour for every recommendation submitted.
SUBMISSION DETAILS
Complete the submission form and upload your work (up to four submissions per person per month).
We prefer that students recommend fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels and audiobooks that would appeal to students in grades 6–12, but we will accept recommendations outside of this grade range.
Students are able to recommend titles in print and digital formats.
Students should NOT use their school email addresses, as we are unable to send volunteer certificates to those email addresses.
Teen Services staff will be emailing volunteer letters to participating students weekly. These letters will include the number of service hours earned. For questions, please contact our Teen Services staff at fountaindaleteen@fountaindale.org.
