Get Involved with YALSA

Watch a free 16 minute webinar on getting involved in YALSA, featuring Jack Martin, 2012-2013 YALSA president.  The webinar slides are also posted online.

Check out our Google calendar to see what we have going on.

YALSA has dozens of ways for its members and supporters to get involved, including many options for virtual participation.  Whether you choose to volunteer to gain additional leadership opportunities, build your resume, increase exposure in the association or library community, or give back to the profession, YALSA relies on you to help support the association and make a positive difference in serving teens through libraries.

Whichever way you choose to get involved, we are committed to providing you with a meaningful experience.  If you have any questions, or would like additional information, we’re happy to help!  Email us at yalsa@ala.org or call us at 1-800-545-2433, ext. 4390.
