I hope this message finds you in good spirits! As we approach the end of yet another year, I am reminded of the transformative experiences and traditions that often shape our childhoods. Do you remember your first visit to a museum? The wonder and curiosity it sparked in you?
Last year, thanks to supporters like you, third graders from Montalvo Elementary School embarked on an enlightening journey exploring our County’s rich Chumash history and culture through the Museum of Ventura County’s School Tours. This unforgettable experience was possible because of donations from contributors like you, which allowed these students from low to moderate-income families to participate in our school tours, entirely free of charge.
The impact of these school tours also extends to college students across our community. We are proud to offer an internship program that provides first-generation college students with hands-on work experience, equipping them with invaluable skills for their future careers while also fostering their appreciation for our County’s heritage.
Remember those Montalvo third graders that visited for a School Tour? Sam – a Museum Educator Intern from CSUCI, trained by seasoned MVC staff and volunteers – led their tour.
Our ambitious goal for the coming year is to double the reach of our school tour program and expand our internship offerings. To achieve this, we need to raise $150,000, and we need your help.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to support our cause.
As a bonus, all gifts received by December 10 will be 100% matched by an anonymous donor!
