I invite you to take part and help Historicorps reach our 2025 fundraising goal!
HistoriCorps is more than an organization mobilizing volunteers and students to save historic places at risk -- it's a community of people who care deeply about giving back and honoring the rich natural history and beauty of our country. I'm grateful to be a part of this community which through its impact has preserved so many places, but more importantly has saved so many stories. Historic places are shaped by the people who lived in them, and people find meaning in the places they inhabit. Here are found the stories of life, stories of time, and stories of people that are different, or maybe not so different, from you and me. I mean, who doesn't like a good story?
Every dollar you give helps protect and celebrate the stories of these historic places and people. Your donation turns a ripple into a wave. Its more than just filling gas tanks, sharpening tools, or charging batteries. Together we, whether as stewards or storytellers, ensure that these human landscapes are not lost to time, but are preserved for all to hear, learn from, and find inspiration.
"Staff are amazing teachers. Knowing how to get the work done and how to lead/train newbies are two different skill sets and they nailed them both. I am interested in a career in historic preservation and I learned so much from watching her think through and plan our work. The were so friendly, really made us feel at home and kept our spirits high through hard work in the hot sun." - Student
"Despite the vast knowledge of the leaders of the project, no one was left behind do to lack of experience or knowledge of how to get a task done. Staff were extremely helpful in explaining what needed to be done and assisting in steps that were a little more complicated." - Volunteer
"It was a really great experience getting to learn and accomplish so much this summer. All of the folks working on behalf of HistoriCorps really blew me away with their patience, passion, and friendliness during the process. I feel the skills I've gained will also really allow me to give back to our local community in a whole new way." - Volunteer
Our mission is to inspire a preservation ethic in all by engaging volunteers and students in saving historic places.
HistoriCorps was established in 2009 to bring a hands-on approach to saving the country's endangered historic buildings. Inspired by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) of the 20th century, HistoriCorps follows in its tradition while pursuing innovative models for a 21st century context. Today, HistoriCorps celebrates the more than 2,000 volunteers, youth, and students who join us in more than 50 expert-led preservation projects across the country annually. Our ten-year strategic plan calls upon us to become the exemplary leader of experiential historic preservation learning for volunteers and youth; one that inspires and expands the preservation community by investing in workforce development programs and projects of importance to historically under-represented populations.
