New Center to Boost Youth Futures

Boys & Girls Clubs of Kern County are set to transform east Bakersfield with a brand-new 10,000-square-foot Life & Workforce Readiness Center, designed to empower 500 more teens and young adults with career training, tech labs, and safe spaces—all while freeing up their current facility for younger kids. Located near the Armstrong Youth Center on Monterey Street, this ambitious project aims to boost economic mobility in a high-crime, underserved neighborhood, with construction slated to begin in 2027 and a grand opening planned for Spring 2029.
