Welcome to Mt. SAC CalWORKs!

The California Work Opportunities and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program at Mt. San Antonio College is designed to support student parents who receive cash aid for themselves and their children. We provide CalWORKs students with access to comprehensive services, including individualized academic counseling, educational programs, advocacy, support, case management, and referrals to community resources, to assist them to reach their academic goals and increase their self-sufficiency. In collaboration with county partners, Mt. SAC CalWORKs students receive county assistance with books and supplies, transportation, childcare, and other services designed to help them complete their educational goals.
