Dear Teachers, Parents and Administrators,

Thank you for looking over our programs; we are excited to offer our catalogue of onsite educational programs, immersive experiences and distance learning to help facilitate your students’ learning about California history. We are now actively taking reservations for onsite tours and distance learning experiences.

The Mission Preservation Foundation and staff are committed to honoring and celebrating our 245 years of rich history, and specifically the builders of the Mission, the inclusion of women in history, and the concept of being an authentic place where meaningful conversations about history can occur.

Our programs align with the California History and Social Science Standards and Framework and feature Native American Storytelling, connections to STEM Learning that align with the Next Generation Science Standards, and much much more.

We advocate that this landmark, now more than ever, is worth learning from, and invite you to walk the path with us or Zoom from afar, to see the beauty and history of 245 years right here in your own backyard. We thank you all for continuing to partner with us to inspire, educate and impact a new generation of learners no matter the challenges.

We are in this together!

Sincerely,

Mechelle Lawrence-Adams
Executive Director
