Volunteering & Community Service

Volunteer at the Traphene Hickman Library

  1. Teen Volunteering
  2. Adult Volunteering

Our goal is to provide teens with meaningful volunteer experience that will help to develop their work skills and prepare them for future endeavors. Teens can help provide library staff with help running and maintaining library operations and services.

How to Get Started with Teen Volunteering

  1. Create your volunteer profile.
  2. Complete your qualifications. Qualifications (waiver) are required before you can begin volunteering. 
    1. To complete your qualifications, attempt to sign up for a shift, it will then prompt you to fill out all the required information. 
    2. When filling out the waiver you will be asked to electronically sign the document. When you have e-signed it will prompt you to send a virtual copy to your parent/guardian to sign. Please remind your parent/guardian to check their email (junk/spam folder as well) to sign the copy that was sent to them. 
    3. Qualifications are manually approved, please allow for processing time. 
  3. Attend a teen volunteer orientation.
    1. Orientation dates can be found in the volunteer portal under the “Events” tab.  
  4. Once you have completed your qualifications and have attended orientation you may now start volunteering!
