NOTE: Cary Teens Lead the Way project applications are suspended until further notice. We anticipate reopening the application process ahead of the application deadline for the Spring Programming Quarter.
Cary Teens Lead the Way is a program organized through the Teen Services department of the Cary Memorial Library to showcase the talents and support the passions of the teens in our community, grades 6-12. This program is designed to assist:
- Individuals or small groups of teens looking to share their skills and interests by teaching a class or a workshop for other patrons at the library.
- Lexington Middle School and High School clubs seeking an opportunity and space to engage other community members in their activities.
- Teens wanting to coordinate/direct a service project using the resources of the library.
- Individuals or small groups of teens requesting a display space for their artwork.
A timely, fully completed application is required to be considered for inclusion in Cary Teens Lead the Way. Please note that each of the above categories of teen opportunities has its own application form. Select the form that most closely aligns with the type of activity you are hoping to pursue. If you are unsure which application to submit, or have other questions about the applications, you can contact the Teen Services Manager by emailing lexteen@minlib.net.
In all cases, if selected, it is essential that all deadlines are meet and clear communication with the Cary Memorial Library contact is maintained throughout the process.
