Volunteer Internships

The Beaverton City Library has many volunteer internship opportunities throughout the year. Volunteer interns provide a valuable service to the Library, often times leading programs, working directly with patrons, supervising teen volunteers and more.

Volunteer internships are generally 10 – 12 weeks in length with interns contributing 10 – 20 hours per week. We have opportunities for Library school students as well as high school and under-grad students.

New positions will be posted late February 2012.

Beaverton City Library does not offer paid internships.

 

"My internship experience with Beaverton City Library was very rewarding. As a library student I gained valuable practical experience working in a library and met a lot of wonderful, talented people. When I graduated these experiences helped me get a job as a reference assistant, a job that I love more and more every day."

— Carson, 2009 Youth Services Winter Intern
