Teen Council

Come together with your teen peers to discuss library topics important to them! Books, music, movies, and even library programming are just some of the topics you will get to share your opinions on when you join the council. Council hours also count towards service hours needed for school for members between the ages of 13-17. Already a teen volunteer at Burton Barr? Be sure to attend Council meetings to stay up-to-date on the latest information you will need to know as a volunteer.

Special Guest: Teen Lifeline! TeenLifeline partners directly with schools and districts across Arizona, helping them develop and implement suicide prevention and postvention policies—including risk assessments, staff training, and crisis plans—to ensure safe, structured protocols before, during, and after a crisis. They will discuss their peer-to-peer counseling program!
