Rising Through Investment Dedication Engagement and Support
The Port of San Francisco prioritizes equity as a core value and is committed to advancing racial equity. It is our goal to ensure Port opportunities reach Black, Brown and Indigenous people, and other people historically left out and left behind. Our vision for this program is to provide mentoring, training and employment opportunities and create a pipeline of trained workers from the community to work on projects in their own backyard.
As a working waterfront, we are especially interested in exposing youth to the Maritime industry. If you are a rising junior and interested in participating in a 6-week paid internship which includes one week of hands-on training in personal water and fire survival skills at Cal Maritime, one week learning to sail a yacht and four weeks immersed in the dynamic culture of Port Maritime operations, APPLY HERE.
