White Plains Library Offers Teen Volunteer Opportunities

Is your teen looking for something to do this summer? Get the kids out of the house while positively contributing to the community (and their resumes!) The White Plains Public Library is looking for teen volunteers for three popular programs:

Reading Buddies

Teen volunteers are paired with children who are learning to read, offering support and encouragement. Teens volunteer for a two-hour time slot and read for fifteen minutes with each child. The program runs three days a week (Tuesdays 4:30-7:00 p.m., Wednesdays 2:30-5:00 p.m., and Thursdays 2:30-5:00 p.m.) for five weeks, from July 10th through August 9th.

The Do Gooders Club

Participants work on a variety of projects designed to "do good" in the community. These projects may include sewing baby blankets for local hospitals, making cat toys for the SPCA, and designing cards for veterans through the American Red Cross. The group meets on Tuesdays from 3-5 pm, from July 3rd through August 14th.
