HistoriCorps

Our mission is to foster a preservation ethic by engaging volunteers in saving historic places.

HistoriCorps is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides volunteers of all skill levels with a hands-on experience preserving historic structures on public lands across America. Volunteers work with HistoriCorps field staff to learn preservation skills and put those skills to work saving historic places that have fallen into disrepair. HistoriCorps works to ensure America’s cultural and historical resources exist for generations to come.

HistoriCorps’ Field and Administrative staff work together to develop and implement preservation projects across the country that inspire a preservation ethic in all volunteer, youth, and student participants through training them in hands-on skills, and in doing so, save historic buildings and structures for generations to come.
