Since 1958, the Friendship House Community Center has been a beacon of support, offering essential social services, transformative opportunities, and a sense of hope to the children and families of Southeast Bakersfield. Our mission is to empower at-risk and low-income youth in Kern County through education and recreational programs.

We are excited to announce our upcoming Casino Night fundraiser, dedicated to raising vital funds to support our educational and recreational initiatives. Each year, the Friendship House Advisory Board works tirelessly to expand access to academic programs for our students. Through initiatives like Casino Night, we aim to provide more opportunities for students to engage in enriching educational experiences at our center.

Join us in our mission to promote academic excellence and empower the youth of Kern County. Your support at our Casino Night fundraiser will make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless children and families. Together, we can create brighter futures and build a stronger, more vibrant community for all.
