Mayor's Message
"Dear Venturans,
Ventura's General Plan states: We will work together as a community to achieve the Ventura Vision through partnerships and volunteer service.
Last year, 43% of Venturans volunteered (versus the State's 26% rate) and gave over 50,000 hours to city programs alone. It's obvious that the citizens of Ventura are passionate and involved, which adds to the uniqueness and friendliness of our community. I'm proud of the many opportunities for service available in our city and I encourage you to join in —working together with people who share common interests can be enjoyable and fulfilling."
