Volunteering & Community Service
Teen Summer Volunteering
There are only 6 weekend spots for this years' Teen Summer Volunteering and each volunteer will only receive two (2) hours each week, so please keep that in mind as you fill out your application.
The 2022 Teen Summer Volunteering program runs from June 6th to August 14th.
You will need to download the volunteer packet, fill it out, and return it by May 15th to be considered.
Access the volunteer packet here: Teen Summer Volunteer Packet.
If you are not chosen this summer or are unable to volunteer on the weekends, we do have virtual volunteering/service learning projects, which you can learn more about here.

The High Point Public Library is a rich institution because of the support of people such as you who are willing to share their time, energy and imagination with us. We appreciate your making us what we are.
Do you think you would like to...
You are one of a growing number of community members who are interested in helping your public library. It is because of people who feel the way you do that High Point Public Library is recognized as one of the best public libraries in North Carolina. We want you to help make it the best public library ever.
Our current volunteer opportunities do not always match the interests or skills of an individual volunteer. If there is not a volunteer opportunity that's right for you now, there may be one in the near future.
We will keep your Volunteer Data Form in our pool of interested volunteers for six months from the date of your application. As we become aware of volunteer opportunities which we feel would interest you we will share your form with the library staff member who will be supervising the volunteer project. Although we cannot predict when or if you will be called, we certainly hope we can find the right volunteer opportunity for you soon!
