Library offers Teen Job Fair, volunteer opportunities
Teens interested in finding a job or volunteering have exciting opportunities coming up at the Schaumburg Township District Library.
Those looking for extra cash or interviewing tips won't want to miss the annual Teen Job Fair from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 15, in the Rasmussen Room on the library's second floor.
During this popular event, teens ages 15 and older can meet with a variety of potential employers looking for part-time and seasonal staff. No registration is required; simply drop in anytime.
In addition to the Schaumburg Library, the following employers will be represented: Bear McDonald's, HE Park District, Village of Hoffman Estates, Hoffman Estates Chamber of Commerce, Carpenters Union, Main Event, Hanover Park Park District, Schaumburg Park District, Northwest Special Recreation Association, Goodwill, Pump It Up, SportsKids Inc., Arlington International Racecourse, Schaumburg Boomers, Aqua-Guard Management, Inc., and Harper College.
"The Teen Job Fair has been a continually successful and beneficial program for the library, local businesses and especially teens seeking their first job," said Teen Place Manager Joe Marcantonio.
Teens looking for volunteer positions are welcome to use their time and talents to help others by volunteering at the library, which earns two service hours per shift.
Students ages 12-19 can register to volunteer from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Saturdays, Feb. 15-March 21, in Teen Place. Registration opens Feb. 1 and takes place online at ShaumburgLibrary.org or by calling (847) 923-3240.
Projects benefit the library and community. To receive service hours, bring any paperwork that needs to be completed by a library employee.
