The Corps will be made up of individuals who will receive training on how to care for historic cemeteries and then make themselves available to volunteer in their local historic cemeteries. The free training is available online and can be completed in about an hour or less. Trained volunteers with the Corps will be connected with local groups who would like help in preserving their historic cemeteries.
