Young Leaders Make History with Bakersfield City Planz Park Adoption

KCYDL invites all members of the public to join in celebrating this exciting step forward for youth-led civic engagement in Bakersfield.

This milestone event makes KCYDL the first youth-led political organization in Bakersfield to formally adopt a city park—a major milestone in the group's ongoing commitment to grassroots civic engagement and community empowerment.

Through this adoption, KCYDL will take an active role in maintaining and beautifying Planz Park, while also using the space to host voter education events, community clean-ups, youth workshops, and forums that promote political literacy and civic participation.
