faith in action youth first day of service volunteer community neighborhood help bakersfield high school

The purpose of our event is to celebrate the legacy of Dr. King by mobilizing local youth in service projects throughout the community. Service projects include a neighborhood cleanup project, volunteering at a homeless shelter, and many more. Each service project will include a "teachable moment" to educate youth on the issues the agencies address. We will conclude our event with a large convening of all youth volunteers for music, fellowship, and lunch.

The "Day of Service" will begin with check-in at 9:30 AM at the project site and end with lunch at 12 Noon at the MLK Veterans Hall on the corner of California Ave. and S. Owens st.
