Lamont Families Have a School-Based Resource Center and Regional Community Partnership

LAMONT, Calif. — Residents looking for referrals and local family support can contact resources listed by the Kern County Network for Children, including the Lamont Family Success Center.

The county education network’s directory of collaboratives and family resource centers lists the center through Lamont Elementary School District at 7839 Burgundy Avenue, Lamont, CA 93241.

Local contact information

The listed contact is Jennifer Wood-Slayton, 661-845-2724, extension 300. Families should call to learn about eligibility, hours, available referrals and whether they need an appointment. The directory does not establish that every program is open for walk-in visits.

Regional partnership

The same directory identifies the South Valley Neighborhood Partnership Collaborative serving Arvin, Lamont and Vineland. It generally meets the first Thursday of each month at 10 a.m., with locations that vary. January and July are listed as months without meetings.

The community contact is Janet Hernandez, 661-845-2724. Residents should check the current meeting date and address before attending rather than assume it always meets in Lamont.

What these organizations do

School and community collaboratives coordinate information about local needs and services. They can help connect families to appropriate agencies but are not themselves a guarantee of financial aid, healthcare or a particular school placement.

For applications for public assistance, residents can also check BenefitsCal and the appropriate Kern County departments.
