Volunteers are a vital part of the Chattahoochee Valley Libraries!

Thank you for expressing an interest in Chattahoochee Valley Libraries’ volunteer opportunities. Here at Chattahoochee Valley Libraries, we are thrilled to offer a volunteer program that gives individuals the opportunity to gain valuable service skills, while making a difference in the lives of others. Volunteers opportunities are available whether you are seeking required volunteer hours, court appointed community service, or just plain interested in gaining the work experience.

Step 1- Apply

Guys Read Volunteer Opportunities

Chattahoochee Valley Libraries is now accepting applications for the 2019 GUYS READ program. GUYS READ is a nationally recognized program designed to improve the literacy rates of male youth and encourage boys to become self-motivated, lifelong readers. GUYS READ increases reading comprehension by connecting fourth grade boys with male role models through reading materials that boys want to read, in ways they like to read. We are currently seeking adult male volunteers ages 21 years and older with an interest in working with male youth. Volunteers must be available to facilitate reading sessions during school lunch hours, once or twice a week, for a consecutive five week period: January 28, 2019 -March 1, 2019. Volunteers will read or book-talk visually appealing, fun, age appropriate books, both fiction and non-fiction with male youth at select elementary schools. All applicants must complete an online volunteer application, consent to a criminal background check, and have reliable transportation.

New applicants, click here to complete the online volunteer application. **Must be 21 years of age or older to be approved for Guys Read.**

Step 3- Interview/Orientation

Before volunteering with Chattahoochee Valley Libraries, all volunteers are required to attend orientation and training with the Volunteer Coordinator.

Volunteers are then given “on-the-job” training in their assigned branch or department.
