The Social Justice Fund for Ventura County
- Funding and Empowering the Emerging Social Justice Leaders of Our Community -
What is a SJFVC Fellowship?
The purpose of a SJFVC Fellowship is to fund emerging leaders with projects impacting social justice in Ventura County and to build future leaders for social justice in our community. Emerging leaders are those who have shown initiative with a project addressing a social justice issue in the County and have a financial need, which if addressed, can increase their impact in the community.
Social Justice Fellowships are awarded to either an individual or a small group of individuals who are leading a project that will have a lasting impact on social justice in Ventura County.
