Located in the heart of Balboa Park, the San Diego Automotive Museum celebrates the artistry, history, and innovation of the automotive world. Through captivating exhibits, community events, and transformative educational programs, we foster a culture of connection and belonging that unites car enthusiasts and the community across generations.
Our award-winning IGNITE Academy is changing the lives of underserved San Diego youth with hands-on technical training, mentorship, and pathways to high-paying careers in the automotive industry and beyond. From monthly workshops on brake installation, car detailing, and tire maintenance to lessons in financial literacy and resume creation, students gain valuable skills and confidence. Partnering with 26 local businesses, we place qualified students in internships and apprenticeships, creating a pipeline of talent for industries in need and setting students up for lasting career success.
For San Diego’s business leaders, partnering with the Museum is a chance to make a tangible impact while connecting with a passionate community. By sponsoring or underwriting our events, you’ll help us preserve automotive history, empower local youth, and strengthen our city’s vibrant car culture. Upcoming opportunities include our Shifting Gears Rally on March 29 and Cruising for Drivers Golf Tournament on May 19—two exciting platforms to showcase your brand and values while supporting a great cause.
