The Greater Victoria Public Library provides services to more than 300,000 residents in 10 communities - and becoming a volunteer is a great way to reach out to all your neighbours! If you are ages 13-18, the GVPL has many opportunities for getting involved. If you have some great ideas for shaping library services, why not join the Teen Council? In this role, you'll work on special library projects, develop leadership skills and boost your resume. Monthly meetings are about 90 minutes long, Sept-June. If you'd rather volunteer oneonone, you can become a Tech Buddy, helping older adults use computers and other new technologies. For this role, the GVPL asks for 90 minutes per week for four weeks. Volunteer with GVPL and start this school year off on the right track! Please call 250-413-0370.
