First 5 Ventura County Details
Brain research clearly tells us that ages 0-5 are critical years for developing lifelong social, emotional and learning skills. While this period is absolutely key to a child's development, it is also where public investments are the lowest. In partnership with parents, school districts, community leaders, and social and healthcare agencies, First 5 Ventura County works to fill the gaps through its network of essential services for young children and their families–a network that strengthens futures for children, families and communities. First 5 was created by voters, for children. Californians passed Proposition 10 in 1998: a tobacco tax dedicated to developing locally managed resources and systems that improve health, education and family support for expectant parents and children 0-5. This gave rise to First 5 commissions in each county across the state. First 5 Ventura County is funded by Prop 10 tobacco tax revenue as well as leveraged dollars, grants and charitable donations. Together these resulted in local First 5 investments of nearly $12 million last year. First 5 Ventura County is committed to expanding our partnerships with foundations, businesses, parents and local leaders so that together we continue to make sound, lasting investments in children.
