Some gather work experience for future jobs; some look ahead to college and scholarship applications. Some must fulfill schools' community service requirements; some wish to contribute to their communities. Other teens just want something to do in their free time. Whatever the reason, libraries can provide many volunteer opportunities to help young adults gain valuable experience as they enter a new stage in their lives. This VOYA Guide offers practical advice about starting and maintaining effective teen volunteer programs in school and public libraries. Working with teen volunteers poses different challenges than working with adults: coping with school schedules and parents' expectations, discovering incentives that interest teens, and dealing with the emotional and physical changes that occur during adolescence. Aware of these needs, Gillespie draws on her many years of experience in managing teen volunteers to provide the basics of volunteer management-recruitment, orientation and training, recognition and retention, and supervision. Her profiles of several successful teen volunteer programs and her interviews with teen volunteer supervisors add authenticity and flavor from the actual library world. Gillespie's sensitivity to teens is heightened by humor and a clean writing style that enlivens the text. Sidebars contain quotes, statistics, true tales from "The Dark Side" that illustrate difficult situations when working with teens, and her own words of wisdom in the guise of an advice column, "Dear All-Knowing Teen Volunteer Guru." The featured library programs contribute examples of promotional flyers, applications, interview questions, evaluations, volunteer handbooks, and other handouts.

"Some people scream or bang tables when they express feelings of anger. Some people cry when they're extremely happy and show us tears of joy. I express my feelings with laughter, tears, anger and silence. I owe a lot to my students who asked me to write about my experiences while I was growing growing up in South Africa. In America, I sang and talked about my motherland so much that my students crowned me 'LADY AFRICA'. I've spoken in different universities, cultural events, Black history month events, United Nations and in public libraries about African issues. I think it is high time for me to share my experiences with the world through my autobiography. To all my friends, teachers, students, fans and relatives, I would also like to thank you for teaching me about the reality of life. I would also like to thank my mother Mrs. Royal Mbele, for teaching me that I can achieve anything in life if I have the determination. My father, who passed away in 1988 taught me to believe in God and I thank him for that"-- Cosbie Mbele_ Title: Lady Africa in America Author: Cosbie Mbele Publisher: Vilvia Publishers & Booksellers Paperback, 119 pages ISBN: 9781868670260
