The Council level:
Honors those who go above and beyond for the youth of multiple schools or your entire city.

The District Level:
 Honors those who go above and beyond for the youth of all of Ventura County.
Below you will find more information on each of the recipients:
Dr. Phil Hampton and Dr. Marcella Klein Williams
Dr. Hampton and Dr. Klein Williams are co-founders of VC STEM.
Dr. Klein Williams is the Oxnard College STEM Director and Dr. Hampton is a professor of Chemistry at Cal State Channel Islands, but he is also so much more. Science is his passion, and bringing STEM to the kids in Ventura County was something he was determined to do. In 2015, along with Dr. Klein Williams, they started VC Stem. The mission was simple, find a way to promote STEM, not just in college, but in our high schools, middle schools, elementary schools and preschools. Dr. Hampton didn't just say let's do this. He created a whole network of committees and community leaders to come together and realize a dream. He works tirelessly in our community, at science night at our local schools, reading to young people working with students at our area colleges. Dr. Hampton and Dr. Klein have applied for countless grants to fund this monumental endeavor and have been very successful.  

​But that is not all, every fall, Dr. Hampton plans a science carnival with an average attendance of 1,200 people. He plans the activities, recruits the volunteers and then works the whole evening bringing science to life for so many Pre-K through 8th grade students.

Dr. Phil Hampton and Dr. Marcella Klein Williams are one of the many great things about Ventura County and it was our honor to award them both with Honorary Service Awards.
