Our programs erase boundaries between communities and the environment. Each program is community driven and inspired. Our programs focus on teaching participants about social and environmental issues while building leadership skills that can contribute to positive change.
Our programs engage youth across the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and in their individual communities. Our programs also span multiple counties and work with a variety of partnerships. To deliver our programs, the Crissy Field Center (CFC) works with partners like the One Tam Collaborative, National Park Service, and Presidio Trust. These partners provide opportunities for youth to engage in stewardship, conservation, and volunteer work. Our department is in the Presidio of San Francisco at the bottom of the “Tunnel Tops” park. The Youth Programs Summer Intern will learn what it's like to work in a youth and community center that is located in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and that centers around social and environmental justice. This position will help with the day-to-day logistics of the Crissy Field Center as well support to keep our database of youth contacts and programs up to date. This internship will be with the CFC operations team which works with the whole CFC and all of it's programming and be supervised by the Senior Operations Manager.
Position Overview:
The Youth Programs Operations and Community Database position will be working with the CFC operations team. We are currently a team of three. Our work is split into two main seasons, School Year Programs (Sept-May) and Summer Programs (May-August). This internship will provide logistical and operational support during the culmination of the school year programs. We have an end of school year staff celebration where we provide lunch and present data and accomplishments from the school year for the Youth Programs team. This internship will also see the start of our school year programming in September of 2026 and help with the logistics of our annual staff retreat in early to mid-September.
There are three main summer programs at the center: Two high school-aged youth programs, and one middle-school-aged youth programs. During the bulk of the internship, duties will consist of a mix of helping to prep our program (supply prep, snack prep, gear moving) and joining staff on program. While out on program, your role will be to document (photos and videos) the program and work with the Ops team to upload and categorize them in our photo database. Throughout the summer, you will work on a final project with the Operations team to highlight the summer programs' accomplishments. There will be opportunities to join our summer programs on overnight camping trips in the Presidio or in California National and State Parks.
