Hamilton Public Library Opportunities for Secondary Students
Calling all teens! Hamilton Public Library is hosting some fantastic opportunities to get involved within the community.
Teen Review Crew
Are you looking for volunteer hours? Are you between 14 and 18 years? Do you like to write? Consider becoming a Teen Review Crew Volunteer with HPL!
Teen Review Crew is a virtual volunteer opportunity. It’s all about sharing your opinion and promoting the Hamilton Public Library’s collections of books, movies, music, and more. You write reviews for library items, we post them online and you earn one hour of volunteer service for every posted review.
Apply on the Volunteer Opportunities page on the HPL website.
