Starting a Volunteer Program in a Community College Library
Shelton, Kay
Community & Junior College Libraries, v14 n3 p161-177 2008
Public and school libraries often allow high school students to serve as volunteers out of their own interest, to fulfill community service requirements for graduation or for court-ordered obligations. Community college libraries often rely on college students on work-study but starting a high-school-age volunteer program would create a bridge to the community and provide the students with a taste of college. This article provides a framework for how to start a volunteer program at a community college for high school students.
