Volunteering Opportunity For Young People: Summer Reading Challenge 2019
Tameside Libraries are looking for young people aged 12 to 18 to help with this year’s Summer Reading Challenge.
Tameside Libraries are recruiting Summer Reading Challenge Volunteers during to help with events on weekdays during July and August following some induction training in July.
You’ll be helping with activities for children aged up to 11, their parents and carers such as a craft activity, a treasure hunt or game and talking to the children about the books they have been reading for the challenge.
We’re looking for people who are able to explain things to children and to adults in a clear, friendly and enthusiastic way and you’ll be working with the library staff who will be there to help and support you.
It’s also a great way to get involved in your local community, do something useful with your time in the holidays and make new friends and the same time as gaining some useful skills.
Further information and details of how to apply are on our Summer Reading Challenge Volunteers page.
