Every year Building Trades students take part in Historicorps projects around the country.

HistoriCorps is a hands-on field program that takes on historic rehabilitation projects around the country using a largely volunteer workforce. Why do we go?

1. Learning in the field teaches us things that can't be taught in a classroom. Historicorps is a reputable organization that has partnered with Alfred State for years.

2. Construction is becoming a lost trade, the hard work and precision needed seems to deter people from choosing this trade. Alfred State wants to change this and illustrate the variety of paths a student can take in the building trades field.

3. We are preserving history. This trip is more than just restoring old buildings. This experience teaches us hard work, community service and builds character. These memories will stick with us for a lifetime.

Students pay out of pocket to go on this trip, your support will help us defer some of the travel costs. Thank you.
