statement:
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Kern County will align with local school districts where the Club operates on school campuses. Approximately 59 locations in Kern County will be impacted. However, the Club will continue to operate at three separate facility-based program sites and extend hours from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm to create day camp settings while schools are closed. The three Club locations, Armstrong Youth Center (East Bakersfield), Stockdale Club (Southwest Bakersfield), and Lamont Club, will be accepting new members, extending programs, and serving meals. Our primary goal is to provide full-day activities for school-age children of first responders, healthcare professionals, essential community personnel, and those parents/guardians who must work to maintain employment.
"We want to support working families who may be experiencing challenges due to school closures in our area," said Zane Smith, Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Kern County. "We are working to be cautious and responsive as possible to our family and community in this challenging time."
