Mission Inn

Mission Inn Foundation will engage the community through the creation of StoryShare, designed to make a new generation aware of the relevance of arts and cultural heritage. StoryShare is a three-pronged initiative created to ensure that the history we preserve is shared with, by, and for the next generation of community members. Regional teacher and school district curriculum specialist workshops will train teachers to use the Hands on History website—with lesson plans linked to history/social science as well as language arts standards for students in grades three to twelve. StoryShare will pair youth in afterschool programs with writers, photographers, and historians to help students explore, document, and share the history of their neighborhoods.
