Oildale Families Can Connect With the Standard School District Community Resource Collaborative

OILDALE, Calif. — Families looking for school-related assistance and local community connections in Oildale can start with a resource listed by the Kern County Network for Children.

The network’s official guide to community collaboratives and family resource centers includes the Oildale Community Collaborative, hosted by the Standard School District through Standard Family Advocate Services and Resources.

Where is the program?

The official directory lists the program at 1200 North Chester Avenue, Bakersfield, CA 93308, with contact Paulina Diaz, phone 661-444-3663.

What is a community collaborative?

Collaboratives bring together schools, service providers and community members to identify local needs and share resources. The directory lists a general meeting pattern of 2 p.m. on the first Wednesday every other month, with certain months marked as dark. Because calendars change, the entry should not be treated as confirmation of a specific November 2026 meeting without direct contact.

Parents may use the contact to ask about available referrals and coordination for children and families. The listing does not guarantee a particular benefit, funding award or service appointment for everyone who calls.

How residents can participate

Families and local nonprofit organizations can call to learn about current meetings, school resources and where to refer a household with food, transportation, childcare or other needs. For individual public assistance eligibility, start with BenefitsCal or the responsible county agency.
