- Are you noticing an influx of teens asking for volunteer hours at your library and you can’t seem to find tasks for them?

At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will be able to:
- Find at least three ways to engage their teen volunteers.
- Identify the types of volunteers (short term/long term) and properly assign tasks.
