Description

Dec 5, 2024 03:00 PM EST

What are some key strategies for engaging the next generation in the preservation trades? What are some of the challenges, and what are some opportunities and possibilities for the future?  Ten years ago the National Trust for Historic Preservation launched a new traditional trades program, HOPE (Hands-on Preservation Experience) Crew focused on engaging and training the next generation of traditional trades experts, in collaboration with partners all across the United States. To mark this milestone please join Milan Jordan, program director of HOPE Crew, and Molly Baker, manager of HOPE Crew for a conversation with experts of three successful traditional trades initiatives about building connections,  expanding reach, and ensuring the expertise of traditional trades is passed on and shared for years to come.  

Panelists:

• Ryan Aguilar, Individual Placement Director at Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps 
• Charley Langowski, Executive Director at Northern Bedrock Historic Preservation Corps, 
• Janina Peppers, Senior Program Manager Historic Preservation at The Student Conservation Association, Inc.
