The Power of Stories is an archive of projects submitted every year to Building Healthy Communities (BHC) Statewide Convening. It showcases work created throughout California highlighting the power of individual and collective efforts to promote health and demonstrates how stories have the power to re-imagine and transform our communities. Produced in partnership with the California Endowment.

Project submitted by: Building Healthy Communities South Kern County

Project summary: A community comes together and decides it's not enough to do clean-ups of their park. It's time to go after one of the main culprits making their park an unhealthy place.
