Harris County Public Library - your pathway to knowledge

Volunteering & Activism

Your local Harris County Public Library branch may have volunteer opportunities available.  Some libraries use teen volunteers year-round, others only in the summer, and some may be able to refer you to another library or organization that needs volunteers.  Check our branch list for phone numbers.

Other great sources for volunteering include local churches, youth groups, shelters and food pantries. 

These local organizations use teen volunteers.  Contact them for details.
