Teen Volunteer Opportunities

Whatever you love to do...whatever you are good at...come share it with us!

Our teen volunteers not only help us with tasks that need to be done, but they bring their own special talents and interests to our libraries and work with us to figure out how to help the library be an amazing space for teens!

We love that 66% of library volunteers are teens!

Volunteering at Oakland Public Library is a great way to learn about the work environment, contribute to a good cause, or complete community service requirements.

We also offer one-time volunteer or community service opportunities for court appointed teens.

Volunteer with us!

If you are 13-17 (or 18 and in high school), fill out the application below, and we'll get back to you soon.
