DERBY — The Derby Neck Library is urging teens to assist them in fundraising for Summer Reading. Teens from any town who need community service hours, volunteer experience for their resumes or college applications, or are just interested in community engagement can sign up by visiting the Derby Neck Library Great Give profile and registering as a fundraiser: https://www.thegreatgive.org/organizations/derby-neck-library-association
Registering as a fundraiser means teens will have the opportunity to develop their skills in organization, empathy, and advocacy while increasing their overall civic engagement and social awareness.
They’ll be encouraged to contact their parents, their parents’ friends, their friends’ parents, their grandparents, their teachers, their principals, their neighbors, their extended family, etc. to spread awareness of the library’s mission and gather support.
The deadline for signing up to participate and get credit for volunteering is Wednesday April 30th. For more information, please email the Derby Neck Library’s Teen Services Librarian Miss Sarah at [email protected] or call (203) 734‑1492.
