What is the CalWORKs Mission?

The California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program at Los Medanos College encourages personal responsibility and accountability. It is committed to helping TANF recipients receive an education and training which will provide employment opportunities. CalWORKs promotes short-term training, as well as lifelong learning. The ultimate goal of the program is to assist CalWORKs students with vocational/educational training programs, which will lead to a life of self-sufficiency.
