PAWV is currently accepting applications for sites to sponsor Preserve WV AmeriCorps members for the 2018-2019 program year beginning August 2018.  Applications are due to Kelli Shapiro at kshapiro@pawv.org by Friday, March 16, 2018, at 5pm.  Application Guidelines and an application form are available as Microsoft Word documents at http://www.pawv.org/sponsor.html.

PAWV invites historical and community development nonprofit organizations, as well as, local government agencies to apply to serve as a host site with Preserve WV AmeriCorps.

The purpose of the Preserve WV AmeriCorps program is to promote historic preservation, economic development, revitalization, and heritage tourism in West Virginia through historic resource development projects.
 
Site sponsors across the state hosting current Preserve WV AmeriCorps members range from museums, libraries, and historical theaters to historic landmarks commissions and Main Street organizations. For the 2018-2019 AmeriCorps service year, PAWV expects to receive a grant award of at least 30 members, configurable into half-time or full-time as needed.  Preserve WV AmeriCorps members will serve a minimum of 950 or 1,750 hours between August 2018 and August 2019 (with an opportunity to renew for a second year).
