The goal of Tampa Preservation, Inc. is to promote children's understanding and appreciation of the rich architectural and historical heritage of Tampa, and to encourage their sense of responsibility toward its preservation in the future. A multimedia curriculum has been developed for elementary school students; teacher workshops and several different children's walking tours have been developed. "Teach the Teachers" has been cited as a model program nationally. These programs are carried out by volunteer staff.
