In an era of tight school budgets, private fundraising efforts can and do make a difference for our children.

Over the years, the non-profit, all-volunteer Ventura Education Partnership (VEP) has worked to provide the Ventura Unified School District with the extras that help maintain standards of excelle
nce in the classroom. We have raised thousands of dollars for district services and programs in the form of teacher and staff grants.

Through our collaboratives, we work to enrich the school experience by bringing the arts back into our classrooms and teaching students how to maintain healthy lifestyles.

Our children are our future. Please join us in our efforts to make our schools the best they can be.

We invite you to explore our website and learn more about how you can help the children in the Ventura Unified School District.
