Online Education Assistant
THIS POSITION IS CLOSED TO APPLICATIONS. Check out our Committees and other volunteer opportunities on this website.
The Online Education Assistant is a volunteer position with the California Preservation Foundation (CPF). Our nonprofit foundation runs the state’s most active online education program for historic preservation professionals and we are looking for a motivated student interested in education, web design/development, or historic preservation to help play a leadership role in our new education and outreach initiatives. This is an opportunity for you to make life-long connections with historic preservation professionals in government, nonprofits, and architectural design firms across the state. You will learn from our Field Services Director, who will help train you in using some of the latest tools – the same tools used by prestigious universities from coast to coast in training students online – so you will come away from the internship with some very marketable job skills! We are located in one of San Francisco’s most beautiful and historic buildings, right off of the Montgomery Street BART stop. We are also open to working with your college or university to fulfill any internship requirements.
