The ACHP Foundation also hosts interns occasionally to support its work. Candidates generally meet the same criteria as ACHP interns and can work flexible schedules in virtual or hybrid positions. We provide stipends and oversee their work. Tasks may be similar to those assigned to ACHP interns and involve working with the ACHP professional staff and other preservation organizations. ACHP Foundation interns are provided with opportunities to learn about the work of the ACHP and the National Historic Preservation Program. At the same time, they will be introduced to the programs and operations of a non-profit historic preservation organization.
Contact us for information on upcoming ACHP Foundation internship opportunities.
Change Preservation in Practice to Shaping Public Policy
The ACHP Foundation works with the ACHP and preservation partners to inform policy makers of how historic preservation can advance other national policy goals such as economic development, affordable housing, and education. Over time, we have organized gatherings of government officials, experts, and stakeholders to address preservation policy. Issues, drawing upon the expertise and support of ACHP alumni. We took a leadership role in policy discussions and related activities at the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and look forward to actively participating in the commemoration of the Act’s 60 th anniversary in 2026.
The ACHP Foundation also draws on its alumni to promote preservation policies in the Congress and the Executive Branch. We work closely with the leaders of other national preservation organizations to provide an effective voice for preservation.
