Teen Volunteer Fair

Are you a teen looking to do some volunteer work? Come by the Library Meeting Room at the Springfield Public Library from 4-5 p.m. on Friday, May 20 and meet with representatives of local organizations who work with teen volunteers! No registration is required. Just show up for this free event!

You might be able to volunteer at a museum, pet shelter, resale shop, park, service organization, or even the library! At the fair, you’ll have a chance to talk to representatives from different organizations. Each organization will have their own set of requirements, including minimum time required to volunteer and how to apply. Whether you are looking for something short-term this summer or looking for an organization to work with long-term, you can make connections.
