Teens Reach: Community Service
Teens Reach is the youth council for the San José Public Library. Young people ages 13-18 volunteer to support library programs and events. Teens have a chance to learn how to lead and work together, get involved in their community, and serve as library advisors and advocates.
What do we do?
Past Teens Reach activities include: children's craft programs, volunteering at our Summer Learning registration table, and representing San José Public Library at community events. Members are recruited from all neighborhoods throughout San José and participate through Teens Reach chapters at local branch libraries.
Want to Join?
To join Teens Reach you must be 13-18 years of age, have a strong interest in the library, enjoy working with people of all ages and cultures, and be willing to learn new skills. Membership requires regular attendance at meetings, participation in and support of library activities and events, and a sense of fun and adventure. As a bonus, Teens Reach members can earn community service hours through participation in meetings and activities.
