Volunteer! Help your community and gain valuable experience.
The Hoboken Public Library Volunteer Program depends on qualified teens to assist the library staff in providing quality services to the community. This opportunity is open to ages 16 and up. Teens between the ages of 12 and 16 may volunteer for a limited time, such as 2 months for the summer and for only a specific number of hours per week, as required by their school or other organization and in accordance with state & local labor laws, subject to Library approval. Signed parental permission is required for all teens under 18 years old.
To apply to be a volunteer, please read our Volunteer Policy, fill out the application, sign up here, and return the application to the Teen Room at 500 Park Avenue.
