Volunteering for a Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) committee is a great opportunity to develop professionally while also contributing to the CSLP mission. Our committees are the lifeblood of CSLP. Volunteers play a significant role in the success of our organization and programs. While the duties vary, committee obligations generally run for one calendar year. However, CSLP is in the process of changing committee timelines. The obligation for this set of volunteers will run from January 2027 - May 2027 (with a new window of service opening up come summer). Volunteers for the Manual Committees may begin their work before January. All committee work is done virtually, either through email, phone, or online meetings. Attending the CSLP Annual Meeting is not expected for committee volunteers. We are recruiting for all committees, except the Artwork committee. Most CSLP committees are open to all, however some have limited seats or require previous CSLP experience.
