internship & volunteer opportunities

The Historic Districts Council offers internships to high school, college and graduate students throughout the school year and summer. The program teaches interns how community-based preservation and public advocacy in New York work and offers experience in special projects such as writing and research, public programming and monitoring municipal agencies. Interns will gain an extensive knowledge of the preservation community in New York City and a solid understanding of how public policy and civic involvement interact to allow preservation to happen. We are also currently in need of interns to help with our website.

• Paid internships may be available
• Flexible hours
• Full and part-time positions
• Will involve office, and special project work
