Career & JOb Opportunities
Since the start of Cape Cod Toy Library, Inc. as a non-profit organization in 2017, we’ve relied entirely on volunteers for all aspects of the development and staffing of our programs. We’ve been fortunate to have more than 100 volunteers participate both in-person and remotely, including 20+ early childhood educators who’ve helped curate our collection of 1,500+ toys, staffed open hours and facilitated programs. We’ve also benefited from having a part-time Administrative Assistant, thanks to Elder Services Cape & Islands program. To prepare for the opening of our Toy Lending Library program, May 2022, an intern from Boston’s Simmons University Library Science program helped catalog toys and staffed our open hours each Saturday. Thanks to grant funding, we’ve also been able to contract with early childhood educators to offer special programs at the Toy Library in West Barnstable and Outdoor Play Oasis in Hyannis.
