ABOUT
The Heritage Program reveals and elevates the Presidio, encouraging people to connect more deeply with our shared heritage.

Our team is committed to providing meaningful and memorable experiences to people of all ages and backgrounds. We spark curiosity, encourage critical thinking, broaden understanding about our shared heritage, and promote stewardship and leadership into the future by connecting community members to this place. We are looking for interns who are excited to be a part of the dynamic exhibition team, developing immersive, informative, and emotionally rich exhibitions that provide visitors a rare opportunity to engage with the long sweep of American history in one iconic place.
