A campus presenter and an agency official speaking on behalf of Gov. Newsom addressed volunteers at a Service Corps Connections event at California State University, Bakersfield, thanking them for their service and urging continued community engagement.

"I hope you walk away from this experience with an understanding of how much you are needed and how much you are valued," the official said, urging members to maintain the ties they formed at the event. The official emphasized the broader aim of sustained engagement: "The most important thing to us, if we're actually gonna solve the biggest challenges facing our society, is that you all stay connected...to the earth...and that you stay connected and engaged in your community," and called for "building a new type of culture...where we all take care of each other."
