Combating Gang Violence
Through Prevention and Intervention Strategies within the County of Kern

The Joint City and County Standing Committee to Combat Gang Violence was created by the County of Kern and the City of Bakersfield in the Fall of 2006 in an effort to combat gang violence in the community by developing a plan of attack against the root causes of gang violence. As a result of this plan, funding oportunities were provided to vendors based on their proposals to establish gang prevention and intervention programs. The agencies funded and their programs are as follows:

• Ebony Counseling Center - After-School, Community Service and Community Learning Programs.
• Garden Pathways, Inc. - Comprehensive Youth and Adult Mentoring Services.
• Garden Pathways, Inc. - Performing Arts After-School and Day Camp Services to Youth.
• Kern County Superintendent of Schools - Youth and Family Services Programs and Parent Project Facilitator Training.
• New Life Recovery and Training Program - Vocational Training and Employment Programs.
• Stay Focused, Inc. - Mentoring, Crisis Intervention Programs and Community Based Outreach.
• Stop the Violence - Community Rallies and Youth Leadership Opportunities.
