To increase teen program attendance, create programs that also offer meaningful community service. Many teens need community service hours for school or religious organizations, so programs fulfilling this need are popular and well-attended.
Could be Community Service Week (held in February)
Required training and orientation sessions
Programs for teens who like working with children: Book Buddies, Game Day, Yoga Buddies (taught by certified instructor), recycled crafts, story/craft time
Programs for teens who like working with adults: Tech Team (one-on-one basic computer instruction for adults who register in advance)
Programs for teens who like working solo: Food Drive (sort and box food during Community Service Week food drive), Read-a-Thon (teens are sponsored to read with money raised going to local food banks and shelters; library supplies books, bagels, snacks, beverages to keep teens fueled; various times - could be 6 hour event)
