The Summer Read VolunTEEN program is for teens ages 13 (must be 13 at the time of account creation) through high school graduation. An online volunteer account and two-hour training are mandatory!
Being one of our Summer Read VolunTEENS is a big responsibility. As a Summer Read VolunTEEN, you will work with many children and families using our Summer Read and Volunteer Management software. You will be trained to complete activities and crafts, play games and read with children of all ages, straighten shelves, assist with program setup, and fulfill optional opportunities based on the needs of the Library’s location. A two-hour training is mandatory to prepare you for the VolunTEEN experience! At training, you will learn the dos and don'ts of being a VolunTEEN, Library policies and procedures, available opportunities and how to sign up for them. After training, you will receive a free VolunTEEN t-shirt!
Starting April 1st, ALL new and returning teens MUST CREATE a Summer Read VolunTEEN account. Please visit www.toledolibrary.org/volunteer. You will receive an email confirmation once your account is created (please check your inbox immediately). Remember, please create an account on or after April 1st. Most importantly, all new and returning teens MUST REGISTER for a training session online or at your favorite Library location. Register early, as some locations fill up fast! Remember, the VolunTEEN program is for teens ages 13 (must be 13 at the time of account creation) through high school graduation, and creating an online volunteer account and a two-hour training is mandatory! If you have further questions, please contact the VolunTEEN Supervisor at the Library location where you would like to volunteer. You can also contact Mrs. Talena Reynolds, Volunteer and Partnership Liaison, at 419.259.5229 or talena.reynolds@toledolibrary.org.
