This is the perfect opportunity for individuals looking to learn more about libraries and education, and individuals looking to volunteer but are unable to make a weekly commitment.
Join our team of Outreach Ambassadors and encourage individuals throughout our community to get involved with their local library and sign up for library cards! Outreach Ambassadors represent the Milwaukee Public Library at a variety of community events including school open houses, health fairs, community block parties, and more.
