Library Workshop (Medford)

Posted on by

 University College is looking for people interested in hosting a 1 hour workshop for middle schoolers at the new Medford Public Library on Wednesdays.

All volunteer opportunities are from 1-2pm EST, located at the Medford Library (111 High Street). At least one member of the University College Team will be assigned to each date, and will coordinate with you ahead of your chosen date.


Student participants are in grades 5-8. We will cap the sessions at 50 students (we expect 30-50 to attend), but the room capacity is 100 – so there is some space to spread out. The room has projector/audio, flat floor, long tables and chairs.


Ideally, workshops are as hands-on as possible, but with minimal supplies. Examples include: 

  • A session on social media/marketing where students sketch their own social post
  • An engineering session where students make paper planes and learn about aerodynamics
