About This Position.

About AIISF. Founded in 1983, AIISF is the primary nonprofit cooperating association working with Angel Island State Park on preservation and education related to the former US immigration station at Angel Island. During the years that the station was open from 1910-1940, the site was used to detain, interrogate, and process over 500,000 persons from 80 different countries. Most of these immigrants were from Asian and Pacific countries and were held at Angel Island due to the nation’s exclusionary immigration policies. Now designated as a California Historic Landmark and as a National Heritage Site, the buildings of the former Immigration Station hold an important and esteemed place in the hearts and minds of hundreds of thousands of Bay Area, California, and US immigrants and their descendants.

Mission. For all immigrants, descendants, and families, Angel Island is a living landmark that symbolizes diverse experiences of detention, racism, exclusion, hope, and determination. AIISF protects the historic site, elevates its stories, promotes learning, and celebrates the new beginnings and immigrant contributions that define the strength of the US. We inspire a more equitable and inclusive future; one that embodies how immigrants make nations better.

Vision. AIISF is committed to a future in which all persons across the US understand the history of immigration through Angel Island; leverage this knowledge by treating immigrants with increased respect and empathy; and are committed to increasing equity, justice, and belonging for all communities.

Values. AIISF creates community, belonging, and inclusion in our workplace, events, programs, and exhibits. We ensure that our interactions are grounded in integrity, respect, and collaboration. We promote learning – particularly about the nation’s complex history of racism and exclusion – while also celebrating the strength, resiliencies, and contributions that immigrants have made and continue to make to the US.

AIISF is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of diversity and inclusion, and we embrace our employees’ differences. We believe the multiplicity of backgrounds and perspectives strengthens our community.
