Stop by our Teen Advisory Board (TAB) meeting on the first Tuesday of every month in the Teen Space and ask to sit in and observe. **please note that our TAB applications are different from our General Teen Volunteers Application. Volunteer hours for TAB tend to be 1 hour per month, plus opportunities to earn additional hours throughout. Anyone who signs up for both TAB and our general teen volunteers will have to fill out both applications, and are expected to have the time commitment to serve both entities. Please contact Bailey at bporras@buenaparklibrary.org if you have any questions. |
