Volunteer Job Description: 

Volunteers are needed staggered throughout the duration of the program for setup, the program, and cleanup. Volunteers must be comfortable with butterflies--seeing them, touching them, having them land on them, picking them up, etc., as volunteers will be helping to safeguard the butterflies, remove them from patrons, keep them from escaping, etc.

Please contact the library’s volunteer coordinator to set up a volunteer interview.  An interview with a volunteer coordinator must be completed before volunteer work can begin. Please email   volunteer@champaign.org  or call   (217) 403-2000, ext. 3  to schedule an interview.
