RaisingBakersfield.com is an online resource and social network for local parents, brought to you by The Bakersfield Californian and American Kids Sports Center.

Join our community of local parents and start an online journal, share family snapshots in our scrapbook galleries, and chat about parenting issues and family life in our forums (our "Share" section).  Find fun, family-friendly things to do on our always-updated events calendar, and go to our "Play" and "Learn" sections for informative articles and ideas for things to do, as well as our growing collection of interactive maps (from preschools to pools and more).  In our "Shop" section, you'll find our unique Parent Perks discount program, where local vendors offer RaisingBakersfield.com members special deals and discounts that change every month, and our free online classified ads make it easy for families to find things they need and unload things that other families may want.  We also have new contests all the time, so check back often to see what you can win!

You may have seen our monthly print newsletter at locations across the city - the photos and articles in the newsletter come from the best of what's submitted to the website, so join us, and you may be seeing your child's face smiling from a future cover!

This new online community is a place where local parents can connect and reflect, learn and share - we can't wait for you to join us, as together, we are all Raising Bakersfield.
