Children First Inc.’s mission is to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty by seeking out opportunities for East Bakersfield children and families to thrive in school, home, work, neighborhoods, and life.
We believe that all Bakersfield children deserve an opportunity to succeed in life. Our goals are to create prosperous communities; ensure that all Bakersfield children live in healthy, safe, and nurturing neighborhoods that promote academic achievement and success; and to counter the negative influences of drugs, crime, violence, and poverty. In order to do this, Children First Campaign believes we must invest in our community assets - not dwell on the deficits -of a neighborhood to create long-lasting improvements and growth. We also believe that a community’s best assets are the families who live within that community. By investing in families, encouraging them to take responsibility for their own futures, we will transform the community.
