Young volunteers

What can you do?

Here are some ideas, but If you have others suggestions, just let us know!

Computer Buddy

Put your computer knowledge to good use by helping our customers –young and old – to get started on our library computers, set up email accounts, look things up or try Facebook for the first time.

Homework Helper

Some children don’t have a quiet space at home to do their homework. Help them get their work done at the library instead.

Reading group leader

Help us set up a group for children or young people.

Digital Champion

Promote library services to your friends by creating reviews using digital media.

When can you do it?

 Volunteering can be carried out after school, weekends, or during the school holidays.  We’ll try to be flexible and fit around your availability.

Why should you do it?

It’s great fun and it will look good on your CV or your UCAS personal statement.

You will learn new skills and gain great experience. Your volunteering could count towards accreditation such as service for your Duke of Edinburgh Award, your International Baccalaureate, an Arts Award or Sports Leader Award.
