Tween Service Corps

November 12, 2019 | jonesw

For the past several years, the Canton Public Library has offered volunteer opportunities for tweens in grades 5-8 through our Tween Service Corps. Due to a lack of service opportunities, we will be suspending the Tween Service Corps at this time. If you need to fulfill volunteer hours, please consider PBJ Outreach and Open Door Food Ministry. These two organizations are local and accept volunteers of all ages. Thank you to all who have completed service hours at the library or who expressed interest in serving the CPL community.
