Join our award-winning educational program team and teach aboard San Diego's fleet of historic tall ships!

General Duties:

Education Instructors will participate in Living History programs, unique learning experiences which allow elementary school students to step back in time and become fully immersed in the history they are studying in the classroom. On a Living History program, you will engage students through interactive, hands-on activities as they embark on dockside "voyages of the imagination" into the 18th and 19th centuries. You will wear period appropriate attire and play the role of a sailor while working with program participants. In addition to Living History, Education Instructors will lead tours of our vessels, participate in off-the-dock sailing programs with the assistance of our sail crew, and more.
