Ventura Plays
We believe financial barriers shouldn’t limit a child’s world. The Ventura Plays Scholarship Fund sparks joy and opportunity by connecting children from low-income families to exciting city camps and enrichment classes—creating a positive, active space where they can grow, learn, and simply be kids.

Every child deserves a chance to play, but for many families, the cost of youth sports, STEM camps, and after-school care is out of reach. Since 2023, the Ventura Plays Scholarship Fund has awarded over scholarships, investing over $30,446 to cover up to 95% of program fees for local kids. As demand for critical programs like youth sports and after-school care continues to grow, your generosity ensures no child is left on the sidelines. Join us in breaking down financial barriers. Donate today to help our community's youth explore, grow, and thrive.
