The Evergreen Library’s Teen Advisory Board meets on the last Thursday of every month from 4:30PM-5:30PM. They help plan library programs, make book displays, choose books for the library, and other volunteer opportunities. Here is the link to the general information on the website: https://jeffcolibrary.bibliocommons.com/events/61eaec1433f5d02800a7087a. This is considered a volunteer opportunity, so students would get at least one hour of volunteer service, and I try to send other volunteer opportunities when they come up. Since, it is a volunteer position students have to apply to it. Here is the link to the application: https://jeffcolibrary.org/volunteer/tab-volunteer-application/. Not only do you get volunteer hours, but I also bring snack, drinks, and food to the meetings, for our next meeting we are having pizza.
