If you are looking to combine travel with learning new skills and supporting a sustainable community initiative, Adventures in Preservation offers you a unique volunteering experience.

 

Volunteer art conservation fresco work in Serravalle ItalyYou can provide a community with much-needed help by joining a group of international volunteers and working with community members to save a piece of their architectural heritage. Whether you love history and architecture; enjoy exploring a new location; or can't wait to learn and share new hands-on skills, AiP workshops allow you to make an impact.

 

Our projects are more than volunteer vacations. Each workshop provides an educational experience for you and for participating community members. Your newly-learned building conservation skills will be put to use in support of an environmentally and economically sustainable project.

 

As a volunteer, you can be part of the change powered by preservation. Whether providing affordable housing, supporting heritage tourism, or helping to create new jobs in historic building maintenance, your actions help a community build a sustainable future.

 

Browse through our current workshop offerings; each workshop description explains the project and the type of work you will be doing and provides the practical information you need to know to join us.
