    Camarillo, CA – Casa Pacifica Centers for Children and Families received a check for $75,000 from the Gene Haas Foundation to help launch Casa Pacifica’s Vocational Education Program – including a “Trades” Unit Program. The “trade” units are boxes containing all the supplies for a student to learn a certain trade: metal and wood working, construction, plumbing, electrical, etc. Along with the “Trades” Unit Program, Casa Pacifica’s Vocational Education Program will also offer a Technical Computer & Digital Arts Program, a Culinary Arts Program, and a Business Enterprise Program.
