A Giving Day to Develop A Stronger Workforce for Orange County.

Introduction

The giving day is here to support local schools and strengthen the workforce in Orange County.

OCASA is a tuition-free public school. The Orange County Academy of Sciences and Arts was founded in 2015 by a group of parents who wanted to improve opportunities for children in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM). Our programs are tuition-free and open to all students, including Students with Disabilities, Foster Youth, Homeless Youth, Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Youth, and English Learners. We operate two public schools, OCASA Elementary for Kindergarten to 5th-grade students and OCASA College Prep for 6th-grade to 12th-grade students.

We appreciate any support you can give to our students.
