Students workingExamples of Service-Learning Education Using Historic Preservation Resources

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) urges historic preservation organizations to create local service learning and/or community service opportunities for students and school systems across the United States in an effort to more widely share and increase public awareness of the benefits of historic preservation.

Working with the Corporation for National and Community Service and Heritage Education Services of the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, the ACHP formally presented the concept at an educational session entitled "Involving Youth in Historic Preservation" at the 2008 National Trust for Historic Preservation annual conference on October 25, 2008.
