DO YOU LOVE HISTORY? DO YOU ENJOY GIVING BACK TO YOUR COMMUNITY? ARE YOU BETWEEN THE AGES OF 13 TO 18?
IF SO . . . THEN JOIN THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION'S JR. PRESERVATIONIST PROGRAM!
You will experience amazing opportunities and go behind the scenes of local historic sites. Our Jr. Preservationists work with trained historic preservationists and historians. You'll have the chance to assist staff with special events, summer camps, educational programs, and the daily operations of some of the oldest historic sites in Prince William County.

- Bristoe Station Battlefield Heritage Park, the site of two major American Civil War battles in Bristow, VA

You can pick the hours that work best for you. Work weekly, help monthly, just at special events or during the summer. We just ask that you work a minimum of two hours on your scheduled volunteer days. We know you are very busy. We will appreciate the opportunity to work with you and any time you can help.
