Our Programs & Impact

 

Over the past two years, the Museum has significantly expanded its outreach programs, positioning itself as more than just a cultural institution—it's a true cultural home for our Marine Corps family.

Our mission is centered around three key objectives:

  • Educating recruits and Marines
  • Supporting the recruiting efforts
  • Bridging connections with the community

To achieve this, we focus on education, military and veteran support, and community outreach. We believe that the phrase "once a Marine, always a Marine" should reflect our commitment to community building at the core of all our initiatives.

For more information or to get involved, please reach out to us at marketing@mcrdmhs.org. For inquiries related to our education program or scouting, contact our Educator, Joan Schwarz-Wetter, at (619) 524-6038. Thank you!

The Education Program provides free field trips, classes, and workshops to K-12 students. The program teaches US history, and the Core Values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment.
