From California Academy of Sciences's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Founded in 1853
, the California Academy of Sciences is a globally renowned, AZA-accredited non-profit scientific and cultural institution located in the heart of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Home to a world-class planetarium, aquarium, rainforest, research institute, and natural history museum—all under one living roof— our mission is to regenerate the natural world through science, learning, and collaboration.
Our living collection reflects Earth’s vast biodiversity, consisting of nearly 60,000 animals representing over 800 species. Our research collections are the largest west of the Mississippi, spanning nearly 46 million plants, animals, fossils, and cultural artifacts from across the globe and throughout history. Our diverse team includes leading biodiversity scientists, educators, storytellers, designers, and communicators who are passionate about advancing knowledge and catalyzing action through science and storytelling.
Whether you're conducting research behind the scenes or engaging the public on the museum floor, your work will help connect people to the natural world and empower them to protect it.
Reporting to the Chief of Education and Learning, the Director of Community Programs is responsible for the strategy, conceptualization, implementation, and assessment of programs at the Academy offered to local communities including internships for high school and undergraduate students, volunteers, and San Francisco residents.
The Director works most closely with managerial leaders in the Education and Learning Division, and collaborates with teams from other Divisions such as IBSS, MarComms, Exhibits, and Guest Experience to ensure that we are catalyzing the Academy’s mission and meeting short and long goals for the Education Division.
As a member of the Academy Leadership Team, this individual will participate in strategic-level decision making for the Academy as a whole, in addition to representing the Academy externally to board members, donors, and partners.
We are committed to ensuring diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion are intrinsic to Academy culture and operations, from recruitment and retention to science and advocacy. Explore
