Teen Community Service

The library offers plenty of volunteer opportunities for students in grades 7-12, who are valid CSH cardholders. Library cards are needed to register for the bulk of opportunities!*

All prospective volunteers must attend an orientation meeting, held 1-2 times a month. Register on our calendar or contact teen@cshlibrary.org for more info. 

At this time, the CSH library is not accepting adult volunteers.

*If you do not have your own library card, the library provides 1/2 hour of community service credit when you get your card and report to the circulation staff that you are a new volunteer.

Volunteer Guidelines & Paperwork

Are you one of our prospective or current volunteers? Links to volunteer paperwork can be found below. Please allow up to one week for the receipt of a volunteer letter.

Special Volunteer Opportunities

Surveys

Each can be completed once per calendar school year (July-June). 

Citizen Science with iNaturalist (1 hour per 10 observations)

  • Use the iNaturalist app to log photos of wildlife and plants in your area. Select a suggested ID for
    the organism and let the community peer review it as a contribution to science! Email a photo
    of your log to teen@cshlibrary.org for credit. Every 10 observations (including an ID attempt)
    counts for 1 hour of service.

Beach Cleanups

  • Twice a year we have organized beach cleanups in collaboration with the North Shore Land Alliance. These are off-site events requiring permission slips.
