Let’s open the door to a brighter future – support Ojai Public Schools!"

The Ojai Education Foundation is a community-based, nonprofit organization that promotes excellence in public education by building community support and providing resources to our schools.

Since 1993 the Ojai Education Foundation has been working to ‘create a vibrant, rich, inspiring educational experience for the children of Ojai.’

Directed by an independent non-salaried board of community members and supported exclusively by contributions from Ojai residents and local area businesses, OEF manifests the spirit of a community that takes pride in, and responsibility for, the public education of its children.

OEF provides an opportunity for the Ojai Valley community to support our students with the resources they need to excel in their educational goals.

A summary of OEF recent activities is contained in our 2006 Annual Report and our 2005 Annual Report.
