The Oakland Public Library launched a new service in 2015: the Veterans Resource Center at the Main Library. We have a wonderful crew of volunteers who staff the center and lots of terrific information and resources to share, but we need help with getting the word out to veterans about this new resource.
Based out of the Main Library (125 14 th Street), this volunteer work takes place out in the community.
We're looking for an independent, personable, and responsible volunteer to distribute and post paper flyers in Oakland cafés, laundromats, and other community bulletin boards.
Volunteers will be asked to work 1-3 hours/week, but the timing is flexible and you can set your own schedule.
If you're interested in applying, please click "I want to help!" above.
