Introduction

This Directory is provided to you by the Youth Development Coalition, which was organized several years ago to help alleviate crime and gang activity among young people in Greater Bakersfield. We have tried to include all agencies and organizations that provide service to youth or their families. We may have missed some. For that, we're sorry and promise an update edition from time to time. Certain individuals and organizations need to be recognized for their contributions to the publication of this Directory. They are: Morgan Clayton and his staff at Tel Tec Security Systems, Barbara Cruzan Coston, Field Representative for Supervisor Mary K.Shell; Sharon Pierce, County Administrative office; Sally Ann Selby and Ginger Moorehouse, The Bakersfield Californian; and California State University, Bakersfield.
