Ag in the Classroom is an annual 3-day conference where teachers and education professionals can learn about agriculture, and be provided with tools, tricks, and curriculum which will enable them to bring agriculture into their classrooms. When we help our teachers introduce the next generation to the importance of agriculture, we all will benefit for generations to come. 2020's Ag in the Classroom Conference will be held September 24-26 right here in Ventura! Click here for all the details.
Thanks to our generous donors and great fundraising at the Meet the Farmer/Meet the Rancher Mixer, VCCWA is able to offer several scholarships to teachers to cover their cost of registration for this event.
Applications need to be submitted by July 15! Click here to download the application. Good luck!
