About
Suffolk Libraries is passionate about developing what we offer for young people aged 10-16, and strengthening our relationship with this audience through our enthusiasm and expertise for reading and literature. As a result of this, we have developed The Blank Page Project, an exciting initiative utilising HAF (Holiday Activities Funding). This programme provides free, enriching and engaging holiday activities, with strong links to literature in libraries during the school holidays. The programme brings together experienced facilitators and artists offering everything from photography workshops to portrait creating, theatre workshops, brass casting and creative writing. This provides young people with new opportunities, develops their relationship with their local library and enhances their future aspirations.
We are looking for volunteers aged 18-24 to support the Workshop Artists and Library staff deliver these projects. You will be confident in talking to young people, friendly and have an interest in Libraries and the Arts. Each workshop is fully staffed with a facilitating artist and two members of support staff. You will be supporting them to ensure the smooth running of the day. The workshop days run from 9.30am to 3.30pm. Training will be provided.
