Mission: Historicorps is on a mission to save historic places for public benefit through volunteer engagement, and at the same time provide public education and training in historic preservation skills and techniques.
Target demographics: All Communities
Direct beneficiaries per year: Over 30 preservation projects each year, involving hundreds of volunteers.
Geographic areas served: All 50 Staes and US Territories
Programs: Historicorps began as a program of Colorado Preservation Inc before becoming its own independent non-profit. It has created a unique "step on, step off" service, engaging volunteers (working under professional supervision) to preserve historic structures for public benefit. At the heart of the Historicorps model is the engagement of a broad and diverse cadre of partners. Working at every stage of a project, from initial assessment through final completion, HistoriCorps has been able to preserve hundreds of buildings and other structures that might otherwise have been lost. At the same time HistoriCorps provides invaluable training in preservation methods and techniques and, above all, a uniquely fulfilling experience to the many volunteers who join our field crews. Since 2009 HistoriCorps has been active in 24 states. HistoriCorps volunteers have provided thousands of hours of service in hundreds of projects. In 2016 the HistoriCorps Institute was established, as a training and education arm, based in Petersburg, Virginia.
