A major commitment of the Holocaust Museum San Antonio is the educational program.

The museum's "Curriculum Trunks Program," which is available for teachers throughout the city, gives teachers of all grades multimedia tools such as videos, posters, CDs, CD-ROMs, maps, classroom sets of books, lessons plans, and plans for student activities so that classes are as informative as possible.

The Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio offers several opportunities for volunteers.
