CARE

COOPERATIVE AGENCIES RESOURCES for EDUCATION (CARE)

CARE is a program designed to help single-parent students succeed in college. The committed CARE staff and support services are available to assist students in removing obstacles to academic success. Because we realize that attending college and being a single-parent can pose many challenges, we will help you to achieve your educational goals. We work closely with CALWORKS support people to provide "seamless" help for all our students.
