Volunteering

Volunteers provide a unique and vital role in the delivery of library services in our community. At The Callander Public Library (CPL), we are committed to offering a variety of enticing volunteer opportunities for both adults and teens.
 

Becoming a volunteer

To become a volunteer at CPL, you will need to complete the following steps:

• Review the Current Volunteer Opportunities for Adults or Teens to determine your area of interest

• Complete an online application form or print an application and email or drop off your application at the library.

• Complete a brief intake interview, determining if volunteering at CPL is right for you

• Receive an orientation including a tour of the building, volunteer space, introduction to the staff, review of policies, procedures and health and safety basics

• Receive additional job orientation and training from the volunteer coordinator related specifically to your volunteer role
   

Recognising our volunteers

Recognising the contributions of our adult and teen volunteers is important to us, for without volunteers, we would not be able to achieve all that we do!

Teen volunteers will receive an official Letter of Reference upon completion of their placement at the library, and a confirmation of the total amount of time spent at the library if the hours are to count as part of the Community Service Hours requirement for high school graduation.

CPL's volunteer program strives to connect youth with the library and offers the opportunity for young adults to connect with other adults and seniors in their own community in a variety of ways.
 

Our Teen Volunteer Program also provides volunteer roles for students in Grades 9-12 currently enrolled in any high school so that they may fulfil their Community Service Hours requirement before graduation.
