Northern Bedrock Historic Preservation Corps Information

The purpose of Northern Bedrock Historic Preservation Corps is to provide hands-on opportunities that equip young people with effective life skills. Using a general conservation corps model, we will intervene in the growing disengagement between today’s young people and the natural world through a hands-on outdoor work program focusing on education, team development, interpersonal and cognitive skills. Our programs will immerse participants in historic preservation projects in which they will gain knowledge and practical experience in planning, teamwork, communication, collaboration, and leadership. Additionally, participants will form meaningful connections in a diverse, inter-generational network that will contribute to their lifelong development and success. This organization will deliver critical life skills to young people and provide valuable historic preservation services to Minnesota.
