Literacy Volunteers
As of November 2027, we are temporarily pausing on accepting new volunteers for the Literacy Services Department. Please check back and this page will be updated when new volunteers are being considered.
Teen Volunteers
Teens (grades 9-12) participating in the Boston Public Library Teen Volunteer Program will learn valuable working skills that will transfer to paid jobs later. Volunteer jobs help to prepare teens to become job ready while working in the library, learning customer service skills, and learning how to interact with a variety of people. Teens will participate in a resume building program and an interview skills workshop. Please follow the link for more information.
