Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00663
The Internships for Cultural Resource Education and Development Program at San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park (SAFR) is a National Park Service project designed to create paid, hands-on learning and work opportunities for young people from the park's surrounding communities in San Francisco. The program focuses on recruiting diverse candidates, with an emphasis on inner-city youth, and then immersing them in real cultural resource work so they can build practical experience, clearer career direction, and stronger educational motivation. Alongside technical training, the internship also emphasizes public-facing skills, helping participants become more confident interacting with visitors and communicating the value of preservation and conservation work.
Interns are expected to rotate through or otherwise gain exposure to multiple cultural resource functions across different divisions within SAFR. Work assignments are meant to align with each intern's specialty or field of study and connect directly to the park's conservation and preservation needs. Through this structure, participants develop familiarity with and appreciation for the park's historic maritime artifacts and broader cultural resources. The opportunity is framed as apprentice-style training, meaning interns are not only completing tasks but also learning trades and technical skills under guidance, while also gaining personal and professional development that can translate into better job prospects.
A central goal of the program is relationship-building: it aims to create sustained mentorship connections between interns and experienced staff, with the idea that meaningful mentor bonds increase the likelihood of long-term success for the youth involved. The program also highlights an intended academic outcome, describing the internship experience as something that should culminate in stronger ties between participating youth and educational pathways across San Francisco, reinforcing continued learning and future employment in preservation, cultural resources, or related public history fields.
