What a great opportunity!
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.
The 2018 Ag In The Classroom conference will be held September 27-29 in Palm Springs. To learn more about the conference, click here. The application may be downloaded with the link below, and must be submitted by August 15. Good luck!

For years, VCCWA's College Scholarships have helped fund the education of promising local students pursing careers in Agriculture or related fields. These scholarships have been given to students attending universities, junior colleges and trade schools. Our purpose in awarding the scholarships is to support and encourage young people to pursue their agriculture dream through continuing education. The entire community of Ventura County benefits when we help our young people realize their dreams. It is also our intention to lend financial help to those in need.
