Webinars & Workshops
The Providence Preservation Society was awarded a Moe Family Fund grant to offer paid, hands-on five-week job training program in historic window restoration, in partnership with several other Rhode Island entities.
The National Preservation Partners Network (NPPN) offers a variety of webinars, workshops, and other virtual programs throughout the year. Our aim is to provide historic preservation organizations with training, tools, and peer support so they can focus on their missions.
