At SEEAG, we see it every week. The moment a student steps off the bus and onto a farm for the very first time. For many, it’s their first field trip. Their first time planting a seedling, and watching it grow. Their first time meeting a farmer. These moments spark curiosity, connection, and confidence.
But none of it happens without transportation to the farm, where the real learning happens.
BUS BUCKS
HELP CONNECT KIDS TO FARMS
We Invite You to Support our Mission!
Through our annual Bus Bucks fundraiser, we are dedicated to covering bus transportation costs so that every student can participate in our Farm-to-Food Lab and STEM Career Pathways in Agriculture programs, regardless of their school’s budget. We reimburse every single school that attends our programs.
SEEAG’s Bus Reimbursement Model: Removing Financial Barriers
On average, SEEAG reimburses schools $200–$500 per bus to bring students to our farm education sites, with reimbursements averaging $300 per bus.
When you multiply that by the 80+ schools we serve throughout the school year, the need becomes clear.
Transportation costs are one of the largest barriers schools face to participate in outdoor field trips, and they continue to rise each year. Your donation directly removes that barrier.
When you give to Bus Bucks, you’re not just funding a bus ride, you’re:
Making hands-on STEM education accessible
Supporting Title I schools and underserved communities
Connecting students to local agriculture and food systems
Investing in the next generation of agricultural leaders
Join us in reaching our $15,000 goal by the end of the month and open the door for thousands of students across Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties to experience agriculture firsthand. Your support fuels hands-on, STEM-based learning through SEEAG’s programs — inspiring curiosity, discovery, and future possibilities.
