Teen-Led Programs

Proposing a youth-led program at the San Francisco Public Library  

Programming offered at the San Francisco Public Library connects our diverse communities to learning, opportunities and each other.   

Are you 15–18? Do you or the group you represent have a program you would like to present at the San Francisco Public Library? We want to hear from you! Please review the following guidelines and complete the proposal form below to be considered.  

Proposals must be submitted at least four months in advance to allow adequate time to review, approve, prepare for and publicize the proposed program. Program proposals are reviewed by a library staff committee. Those proposals found to be most closely aligned with our strategic priorities are considered for presenting at one or more of our library locations. Consider reviewing the San Francisco Public Library’s Strategic Priorities prior to completing the form below.   

If your proposal is approved, you will be required to meet with library staff at each library location prior to presenting your program.   

If you are interested in submitting a program proposal, and potentially being contacted to present your program, please fill out the Teen Presenter Proposal Form.
