Founded in 1954 and one of the oldest community organizations in San Francisco, THD has worked hard for more than sixty years to make Telegraph Hill a better place to live for everyone, everywhere – not just those of us lucky enough to live here, but as Stewards of the Hill, for people who come from all over the world to see and experience this special place.  We’ve done that by following the “mission statement” in our bylaws:
 

• Beautify and improve Telegraph Hill
   

• Build community
   

• Protect the unique character of the Hill
   

• Celebrate the Hill’s history and traditions
   

• Engage in affairs of the City
   

• When necessary, stand up for the Hill.
