Civic Engagement Leadership Project: Domestic Violence/Teen Dating Violence Resource Guide and Graphic Novel
Earning community service hours, Los Angeles County teens will take a four week course on domestic violence, given by Strength United (CSUN).To raise community awareness, teens will then create panels for a serialized graphic novel on domestic violence and teen dating violence. Experts on artistic expression through graphic novels will guide the teens in their work. Teens will also research and compile a domestic violence, dating violence, and mental health resource guide to be included in the graphic novel. Volunteers will attend meetings on political advocacy with District 45 representatives Alberto Vargas and Dana Alpert. Volunteers will work with Assembly member Jesse Gabriel's representatives to support Bill AB 309 that will help fund California schools for resources supporting teen mental health.
Hosted by the Encino Branch & the Canoga Park Branch
Time: May 24, 2021 04:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)

Mission Statement
The Los Angeles Public Library provides free and easy access to information, ideas, books and technology that enrich, educate and empower every individual in our city's diverse communities.
Description
The Los Angeles Public Library is largest public research institution west of the Mississippi.
With more than 70 branch libraries and Central Library subject departments serving millions of Angelenos on a yearly basis, our programs are supported by thousands of volunteers in a variety of capacities. Whether providing one on one literacy tutoring, cutting out craft supplies for story time activities, helping serve summer lunch at the library, or serving as a Friend of the Library, all volunteers play a role in the work of LAPL.
If you would like to volunteer, but don't see a listing that matches your interests, please contact your local branch or the Volunteer Engagement Office. Opportunities and needs vary by location and fluctuate throughout the year.
Please note that the minimum age for volunteers is 14 (with the exception of 11-13-year-olds joining Teen Councils), minimum time commitments are required for most opportunities, adult volunteers working with children will be fingerprinted, and LAPL does not accept court-mandated community service.
