Who we are
The Ocean County Foundation for Vocational Technical Education is a non-profit organization dedicated to help ensure a quality education for students of the Ocean County Vocational Technical School. It is our mission to augment, supplement and complement the programs of the Ocean County Vocational Technical Schools through the attraction of private resources for the exclusive benefit of its students and staff. The Foundation is committed to raising funds for scholarships as well as providing equipment for programs beyond the scope of the school budget. After fundraising expenses, all funds go directly to the students and instructional programs at Ocean County Vocational Technical Schools.
The Educational Foundation was formed by a group of community leaders in Ocean County. All Foundation members are volunteers. There are no administrative costs. The Foundation is independent of, though fully supported by the Ocean County Vocational Technical School District.
