To build our skills as a historic preservation corps we are always seeking historic preservation and trades specialists to share their experience and knowledge with us. These partners have paid roles on our team, leading our corpsmembers in everything from masonry to window restoration. Some work with us for our full commitment of a project, 1-2 weeks, while others provide a day or two of time to put on skill specific workshops. We are always searching for experienced preservation specialists and educators to add to our network.

Will you join us on our next project?

“The young individuals were eager and willing to learn all aspects of the masonry trade, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with the group…The work, time and dedication of this group are a definite asset to our community.”

“Learning to plaster takes years, to do it really well and do it fast…That’s the way it is, you know. It’s a hard job, not easy work… This has been the best couple of days of my last few years. It’s been inspirational to me. I would love to do it again.”
