Teen Advisory Board & Teen Ambassadors
Teen Ambassadors
Being a Teen Ambassador is a great way to serve your community while gaining work experience. YOU are needed to make a difference!
Not only do many Osceola County schools require a certain number of volunteer hours from students before graduation, but volunteering can be a great learning experience! Volunteers have the opportunity to learn new skills, make a difference in their community, and meet some great new people.
Applications will be accepted in April, August and December.
For more information please contact the Youth Services staff at the Library you want to volunteer for. Be sure to use a personal email address and not a student email address in your application.
