Community Service Program
These can be found in our library newsletter and online calendar. Registration can be required with a SHPL card and space may be limited. We try to offer at least one opportunity per month that does not require registration.
Teen Advisory Board (grades 6-12)
The South Huntington Teen Advisory Board (TAB) is an active volunteer organization that works on behalf of the library’s Young Adult community. Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month at 7pm from September to June and attendance at these meeting qualifies as community service. No registration required. Additional opportunities for community service in our library are presented at these meetings and may have specific age and grade requirements in addition to a training.
Opportunities Outside of the Library
Many local organizations also offer teen volunteer opportunities. Teen volunteer criteria will vary based on the scope and nature of the organization. Be sure to find out the following information:
- Age requirements
- Level of time commitment
