Summer break is fast approaching and the Friends of Smyrna Library (FOSL) need teen volunteers! We are starting a new teen volunteer program that will have both regular volunteer opportunities and volunteer LEADERSHIP opportunities over the summer and into December.
Leadership opportunities start with rising 9th graders and 6th to 8th graders can also volunteer for non-leadership roles. Adult FOSL volunteers will supervise all events and children who volunteer will be setup for success and get meaningful and well organized community service assignments.
We need teen volunteers to help with:
• Sort and organize books for ten upcoming “pop-up” sales in the library lobby. (60 to 90 minutes for each sorting)
• Organize books for 2 book sales at Keep Smyrna Beautiful’s Smyrna Outdoor Market. (60 to 90 minutes)
• Setup and work book sale tent at Keep Smyrna Beautiful’s Saturday Smyrna Outdoor Market (7:30 am to 10 am) once scheduled. (1 shift leader volunteer opportunity)
• Work book sale tent and close up sale at Keep Smyrna Beautiful’s Smyrna Outdoor Market (10:00 am to 12: 30 pm) once scheduled. (1 shift leader volunteer opportunity)
• Support the Summer Ice Cream Social on a Sunday in August (event being planned, volunteer needs TBD, shift leader opportunities will be available).
• Multiple book sorting and book pricing events from August to October in advance of the Fall Jonquil Festival Book Sale. NOTE: The better the books are sorted and priced the more money we make to pay for great programs like last Saturday’s KID*CON. This is a VERY important volunteer contribution.
• Lead the First Sunday Lecture Series meeting room setup/breakdown and take event photos (2:30 pm to 4:30 pm on the first Sunday of each month.)
• Computer help (must come to the library): Create a Jonquil Festival Book Sale “How To” Book. (multiple meetings)
• Computer help (must come to the library): Convert old Google Picassa Photo Albums to Google Photos Albums (multiple meetings)
• FOSL Storage Area Cleanup: We will need 10+ volunteers to pull everything out of our various storage areas in the library and reorganize them. 2 events TBD for 90 minutes each. Shift leader volunteer opportunities available.
• Volunteer for Fall Jonquil Festival Book Sale (2.5 hour shifts SAT 8 am to 7 pm, SUN 10:30 am to 6:30 pm during festival). Nine shift leader volunteer opportunities. 36 other teen volunteer opportunities.
• Support the December “Evening with the Friends” annual holiday party (event being planned, volunteer needs TBD, multiple shift leader opportunities will be available).
• Official FOSL Instagrammer for one month! Become our official teen Instagrammer for one month assignments beginning in June, 2019. One parent/guardian will need to meet with a FOSL representative for the teen’s interview for this social media opportunity.
