The CARE (Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education) program at Los Medanos College helps single parents who want to break the welfare-dependency cycle by successfully completing college-level educational and training programs, and therefore, become more employable and economically self sufficient.

To be eligible for CARE, a student must be EOPS eligible, be enrolled in at least 12 units at Los Medanos College, be at least 18 years of age, be a single parent/head of household, have at least one child under 14 years of age and be currently receiving CalWORKs/TANF. CARE services include monthly meal tickets, automotive maintenance, academic and personal development workshops and educational grants.

To apply for CARE, come by the EOPS/CARE office at CC3 435 and complete a CARE application from and obtain an Agency Certification Form, to be completed by your case worker, to verify CalWORKs/TANF status.
