The Library offers two volunteer hours programs for teens. Junior High Volunteer Hours is for teens in grades 7 and 8, and participants can earn 1.5 hours while helping to make crafts and prepare materials for Library programs. This program is currently only offered at our Central Library. Our Teen Volunteer Hours are for teens in grades 9-12, and participants can earn 2 hours by doing projects to benefit the Library and the community. This program is offered at our Central, Hoffman Estates, and Hanover Park Libraries. Teens can register for either of these programs online or by stopping in the Library.
The Volunteer Squad is a summer opportunity open to students entering grades 8-12 to volunteer over the summer between June and August. The Volunteer Squad will help the Youth Department with preparing crafts and activities
during Summer Challenge. The application for this volunteer opportunity opens in the spring, and if you have questions about this program, please email volunteersquad@stdl.org.
Looking to volunteer more out in the community? The Library’s Teen Department has you covered! We have put together a list of both in-person and virtual volunteer opportunities for organizations in and around the Schaumburg community. From helping at animal shelters to writing and sending cards, we have tried to make an accessible list for all. Visit schaumburglibrary.org/teen-volunteer for more information.
