Teens in grades 9 through 12 are invited to participate. This program is free, but pre-registration is required.

Teen Volunteer Program
The Department of Teacher, School, and Family Programs recruits local high school student volunteers to assist with clerical and administrative tasks that support the department’s education programs. Typical activities include preparing materials for art projects, data entry, photocopying, collating, filing, and assisting during teacher programs.
Candidates for the Teen Volunteer Program must be rising juniors or seniors with a mature, positive attitude and a strong work ethic. The schedule will vary weekly, based on the number of projects to be completed. The time commitment can range from four to ten hours per week, with periodic weekend work as well. Service hours will be documented and may be submitted for school-based community service credits.
Completed applications must be postmarked by January 9, 2009.
