CALWORKS

California Work Opportunities and Responsibility to Kids

The CalWORKs program provides educational/training assistance to students who receive cash-aid through TANF, including self-initiated participants (SIPs) and GAIN referrals. The program assists students in entering the workforce at the highest level possible, and in developing a personal career ladder leading to increased self-sufficiency and individual growth. Support services include counseling, educational advising, progress monitoring, job development and placement, post employment, childcare, work-study, and case management.

Eligibility

To be eligible for CalWORKs services, a student must be receiving cash-aid under the Federal government’s Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF) Program.  Students not receiving TANF benefits may qualify for other non-CalWORKs services.
