Online Portfolio

My name is Mercede Walker and I am a Teen Program Coordinator.  My expertise lies in working with teens.  I work at a public library branch which serves as a media center for a technology high school.  When the bell rings ending school, things start moving fast.  It's all a blur from then on but it is a great ride!  The programs that I facilitate for teens include but are not limited to:

 

  •     Friday Movies
  •    SAT Prep Study Group
  •   Poetry Club
  •   Teen Coffeehouse
  •   Book Clubs
  •   Crafts
  •   Homework/Research Help
  •   Computer Classes
  •   Job Search Training
  •   College Planning
  •   Financial Aid Workshops
  •   Volunteer opportunites

  ...and so much more.

Career Objectives

I have been in the trenches with teens for three years.  I love what I do, however I see that there is so much to be learned about serving the needs of teens.  My dream job would be to do teen programs and go around to other branches doing workshops on "teen sensitivity" as well as help staff with program planning or serving as a Young Adult Information Specialist.  I would not mind managing an all teen library area, someday.
