Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education (CARE)

The CARE program provides counseling and financial resources for single parents with at least one child under 18 currently receiving CalWORKs, cash aid, or TANF. We provide "over and above and in addition to" what the college and EOPS provides to our students. All CARE students are EOPS students too!
