Give Back to the Places You Love

Historic preservation is a community effort, and it takes people who are willing to get involved. For more than 50 years, the Quapaw Quarter Association has worked to preserve Greater Little Rock’s historic places through advocacy, education, and community engagement. Our volunteers have always been an important part of that work.

There are many ways to volunteer with the QQA. Help with an event, welcome guests, lead a tour, assist with research, support one of our programs, or lend a hand behind the scenes. Whether you can volunteer once a year or want to be more involved, your time makes a difference.

You do not need to be a preservation expert to volunteer. If you care about Little Rock’s history and want to help protect the places that make our community special, there is a place for you at the QQA.

Together, we can help ensure that Greater Little Rock’s historic places remain a part of our community for generations to come.

Give your time, share your talents, and help preserve Greater Little Rock’s story. Sign up to volunteer today.

Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities

Litter Pick-up Partnership with Keep Little Rock Beautiful

The QQA is partnering with Keep Little Rock Beautiful on an upcoming litter pick-up. Historic preservation is more than just saving old buildings; it is revitalizing neighborhoods and returning life to historic places. Historic preservation creates sustainable solutions to protect our neighborhoods and historic resources for the next generation. Part of that preservation means keeping our streets clean! Clean streets and parks encourage residents to take pride in their surroundings, leading to less littering overall, and encourages social interaction amongst neighbors and residents.

Due to the location being along a busy street, we recommend volunteers should be 16 years old or older.

If it rains the cleanup will not be held.

September Details:

Sunday, September 20, 9:00-11:00am

Meet at intersection of Woodlane street and Capitol Avenue.

Water and Lemonade refreshments will be available at Curran Hall when we are finished.

Please RSVP to qqa@quapaw.com if you plan to come help.

Tour of Homes Volunteers:

Historic preservation is more than saving buildings — it’s about revitalizing neighborhoods, curbing urban sprawl, and building vibrant communities. Through advocacy, education, and community events, the QQA brings new life to the places that tell our shared story.

Our biggest volunteer need is for the Spring Tour of Homes, which brings together more than 200 volunteers each year.
