Volunteering
Join the hundreds of volunteers that help keep Canterbury Toy Library running! We have a range of volunteer options for volunteers of all ages and abilities.
Looking for a fun, family friendly volunteer activity? Volunteering at a toy library can be a great way to learn about your local community while building numeracy and literacy skills all while having fun.
​

-
Checking toys that have been returned to make sure all the pieces are there and they are good to borrow.
-
Putting toys back on the shelves where they belong.
-
Helping unpack new toys and get them ready for families.
-
Checking and clean donated toys to help get them ready to borrow.
​
When are the volunteer shifts?

9:30am - 1pm Tuesday - Saturday ( Doesn't need to be the whole shift! can be half)

Can my child volunteer alone?
Volunteers under the age of 15 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian at all times but volunteers aged 15+ can volunteer on their own with the consent of a parent/guardian.
