PORT ANGELES — Youths ages 12-18 can join the Port Angeles Library’s Summer Reading Volunteer Corps.
A mandatory orientation and digital scavenger hunt is planned for the library, 2210 S. Peabody St., from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. today.
Preregistration for the program is recommended; participants should have an application filled out before the event.
Application forms are available at the library or at www.nols.org under the “Youth” and then “Young Adults” pulldown menus.
At the orientation, teens will learn about the library and volunteer expectations, and take part in a digital scavenger hunt.
Teens with digital cameras are invited to bring their cameras; some cameras also will be provided.
Prizes will be given for volunteer teams who “win,” and pizza will be served.
Program youths can earn service credit, meet new people, begin to build resume experience, get a behind-the-scenes look at the library and eat snacks.
All volunteer activities will be supervised, and teens will be taught skills for working with the public, providing good customer service and teamwork.
Volunteer opportunities
The Port Angeles Library will offer two separate teen volunteer opportunities this summer.
Teens interested in assisting at special library events can volunteer as a member of the Special Event Corps.
Teens interested in working with kids can be a member of the Storytime Corps.
Limited space is available in each program. Each teen will be asked to commit to working six volunteer hours during the summer.
