Please note:
1. We are a non-profit partner. HistoriCorps' mission is about teaching and training a
workforce of volunteers, students, and youth corps members through hands-on projects
that accomplish preservation goals. HistoriCorps projects are based on a fixed schedule model with a variable scope of work. We want to work with partners who embrace the
HistoriCorps model of significant volunteer engagement.
2. We do not provide funding for projects. HistoriCorps’ strengths are in project
management, volunteer recruitment and training, and hands-on preservation. Project
partners are responsible for funding and permitting projects. However, we can provide
project information to support grant applications and our in-kind, non-cash
contributions on each project typically amounts to 25% of the total project value.
3. All HistoriCorps projects are “for public benefit,” meaning that the project sites are
on public lands or are open to the public. Public agencies and non-profit
organizations are encouraged to submit project inquiries.
4. Every project is unique! HistoriCorps is well prepared to work on a wide range of
project types. Our Project Managers work closely with each partner to develop a scope
of work and project budget, and they support the project at every step. Our Workforce
Manager coordinates volunteers, students, and youth corps from across the U.S. to build
capable crews. Our expert Field Staff lead volunteers through all the technical steps to
preserve historic buildings.
5. In particular, we welcome any opportunity to preserve and protect places with stories that have traditionally been under-represented in historic preservation.
