TLA Professional Development

Legacy, by Josh Sarantitis and Eric Okdeh

Professional development is a key component of the C2L-PHL program. Teen Leadership Assistants must actively participate during in-branch meetings, in-person trainings, and self-directed learning in order to meet the obligations of this program.

Please contact LEAP staff at teenleaders@freelibrary.org if you have questions about these professional development requirements.

Orientation & Workshops

This summer, the mandatory two-day orientation and all required professional development workshops will take place on the 4th Floor of the Parkway Central Library from 10am-2pm.
