The Youngstown State University Sacred Landmarks Program is  dedicated to serving as a regional resource for the research and documentation of the architecture, history, institutional memory, aesthetic features and current uses of  sacred landmarks in the region. In addition, it serves as a catalyst for these structures' and sites' preservation, responsible stewardship and active community involvement in  neighborhood revitalization. Another area of our concentration is to assist in their role as community centers for the delivery of health and human services, the arts, and education.
