Over the past decade, hundreds of community residents have volunteered to do everything from tutoring children to gardening to refinishing woodwork in the building. Each year, more than 120 local residents volunteer their time to serve on our board and committees, work in the library, or assist in the after-school or summer programs.
These volunteers are crucial to our organization both because of the hard work they do and because their presence strengthens the VLP as a true nexus of the community.
Current/Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities:
- Charles Village Festival Volunteers: Each year, the VLP runs the children’s section of the Charles Village Festival in the Lower Dell at Wyman Park. This year, the Festival will be taking place on Saturday and Sunday, June 2 and 3. We’re looking for volunteers to help with games, face painting, crafts, ticket sales, and a slew of other fun things! each shift is approximately 3-4 hours and will take place between 11am and 5pm on Saturday or Sunday.
