In 1996, California redesigned its welfare system entitled California Work
Opportunities and Responsibilities to Kids (CalWORKs). CalWORKs is a federally
mandated program designed to assist parents who are receiving TANF (Temporary
Aid to Need Families, formerly called AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent
Children). The goal of the program is to assist these parents in gaining
employment and to achieve long-term self-sufficiency by providing education and
training as a viable welfare-to-work activity. At Shasta College the services
we provide to our CalWORKs students include:
- Academic
counseling
-
Childcare assistance
-
Work study
-
Tutoring
-
Assistance with books and transportation
