Volunteer

For Adults

Next Chapter Book Club

Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities read and learn, make friends, and have fun together in a public setting. Trained volunteers facilitate each club meeting. We have filled all volunteer positions, but we are still looking for members. Read more about becoming a member or volunteer.

For Teens

Summer Volunteers (entering grades 8+)

Earn service hours by assisting during the Summer Reading Program (June 1-August 3). Your primary duty will be to provide friendly service at our volunteer desk, which includes explaining the program to children and their grownups, helping with registration and logging, and promoting a love of reading! You must be able to commit to 9 hours of service during the nine-week program.

Our 2019 Summer Volunteer Program is FULL. We are no longer accepting applications. Please call the Youth Services department at 847-729-7500 x 7900 with any questions.
