February's featured nonprofit is R.M. Pyles Boys Camp, which is a youth leadership and character development program for selected boys 12 to 14 years of age. R.M Pyles Boys Camp promotes long-term positive behavioral change for low-income, disadvantaged boys by providing a multi-year camp experience supplemented by year-round mentoring that builds life skills and instills the values of hard work, education and positive choices.

Created through a partnership with the Chamber's Bakersfield Young Professionals and Kern Community Foundation, Philanthropy on Tap is a free monthly series that gives nonprofits a platform to share their services, needs and volunteer opportunities. Attendees will receive complimentary wine, beer and appetizers.
