Teens of grades 9—12 joining in the Boston Public Library Teen Volunteer Program will learn valuable working skills that may change into paid jobs in the future. Volunteer jobs help to prepare teens to become job-ready while working in the library, learning customer service skills, and learning how to interact (互动) with a lot of people. Teens will take part in a resume (简历) building program and an interview skills workshop.
Some of the tasks are:
•Create book lists online
•Put up book displays
•Shelve books
•Help with finding missing books
•Help with weeding book projects
•Help with leading gaming competitions in some places
•Read books and write book reviews, and/ or video game and film reviews for the bpl.org/teens website
•Help with leading gaming programs in some areas
•Teens will join in 5 skill-building workshops: resume-building program, privacy training, knowing your rights in the workplace, Bibliocommons workshop and book review writing workshop. All are at 3:30 p. m. on Monday on Zoom.
•Create a presentation (报告) on a topic that interests you, and then present it to other volunteers.
