Community Partnership Projects

What is our Community Partnership Project?

Community Partnership Projects (formerly known as Angels Projects) are pro-bono work days for which WCG members volunteer their conservation expertise at a particular historic site. They are generally conducted all in one day, although the preparation and follow-up require additional time.

For more information, or to suggest a project for the next WCG Community Partnership Project, please contact us: outreach@washingtonconservationguild.org.

Benefits of a Community Partnership Project

• Providing an opportunity for the site personnel to become familiar with conservation.
• Providing sites with an opportunity to establish ongoing relationships with local conservators who may assist with on-going and future conservation needs.
• Providing sites with completion of much-needed conservation or collections care tasks.
• Providing the opportunity for conservators to become familiar with a site’s staff and facilities which in turn may aid in future emergency response and salvage operations.
• Providing an opportunity for conservators and site volunteers to network and have fun.
• Enhancing public awareness of WCG activities and the goals of the conservation profession as a whole.
