A message from HistoriCorps
At the close of 2023, HistoriCorps faced an unprecedented year of highs and lows. We saw a 28% uptick in registrations that was countered by a 55% cancellation rate, hindering the promise of a landmark year of volunteerism at HistoriCorps. In 2024 we kept climbing and saw and additional 19% increase in volunteer registrations while returning to a manageable cancellation rate around 20%. The effects were enormous for us to say the least.
We’re still crunching the numbers on this season, but this year we have a 123% registrations-to-volunteer spaces available ratio, an improvement from 97% last season! That means for the 650+ volunteer spaces available this season spread out across the 30+ projects, the demand to participate with HistoriCorps has never been higher! On top of that, our volunteer workforce hours rate bumped up an additional 3%, which historically, has been a hard to improve metric. That’s because it’s reliant on how much our volunteers are willing to give…. and you already give a lot!
This season we did our best to release as many projects with 3 months of planning, provide a new map that shows you what’s on deck, and stay consistent with an active communications presence through social media and email so you know what’s going on weekly with our organization.
To see another landmark season with a 26% increase in our volunteer demand shows us you’re thirsty for more opportunities, and we plan on giving them to you! To all of our volunteers, donors, partners, and supporters, words are not enough to thank you for a truly incredible year for HistoriCorps. So how about you take some much needed time off and enjoy the holidays with your loved ones while we try to match your in season work ethic during this off season.
New horizons are around the corner and it’s all because of you!

Manager of Workforce Engagement and Communications
