Youth Services – Teens

Teen Volunteer Program

For students in grades 9-12.

Teen Advisory Board/Volunteering during the Academic Year: All high school student volunteering during the academic year is organized through the Teen Advisory Board. The T.A.B. is Huntingdon Valley Library’s group of youth advisors in grades 9-12. T.A.B. meets with library staff once a month to brainstorm ideas, prepare for events, and work on creative projects that improve our library, all while earning service hours! Members of T.A.B. have the opportunity to volunteer through the school year by assisting with programs and events, creating library displays and program materials, and applying for regular in-house library shifts.

The application window for the 2024-2025 academic year has now passed. Please email Beth, Head of Teen and Adult Services, at hvlysa@mclinc.org, to be placed on the application list for the summer or on the wait list for next school year.
