Community Consultant
Grades 7-12
Who are you helping? Members of underrepresented communities, as well as all Library patrons who are keen to learn.
What will you be doing? You'll be working on various projects to ensure better representation of and service to members of underrepresented communities. This can involve a huge array of activities, such as creating displays, book lists, and craft kits to highlight relevant holidays, events, and concepts, creating better Library signage, letting us know about issues that you see in the Library, and helping to plan events. Some of this work may be done virtually. Each position will be specialized based on the volunteer, so you must have a position in mind when you apply. Applications that do not list a specific position will not be considered.
Who are you? You have relevant lived experience to your chosen specialty and you are keen to use that to create a more welcoming Library. You are community minded and looking for leadership opportunities. Although you are free to apply with any role in mind and it will be considered, we do already have a robust team covering certain communities (specifically, we already have Black, Japanese, Jewish, Wiccan, Queer, Chinese, and Muslim Community Consultants), so we are looking for people to support other communities currently.
When? Schedule dependent on your availability, except if you are running a program with a set time. Aside from that, there is one mandatory meeting per month. Position starts in July and continues into the school year.
