About CalWORKs

The CalWORKs Program supports parenting students with children under 18 who are changing their own lives, two generations at a time, and CalWORKs families find social and economic justice through education.

You can join the GCC CalWORKs Program for Parenting Students if you have children under 18 years old, you are enrolled in classes at GCC, and you are part of the Los Angeles County DPSS GAIN Program.

CalWORKs Students receive priority registration, childcare, laptops, peer mentoring, counseling, case management, college program grants twice-yearly, and a book and supply stipend every semester. You take care of your family and your classes, and we will take care of you.

  • Must have at least one child under 18 years old. 
  • Currently receiving CalWORKs cash aid for yourself - not just your child(ren) - from LA County’s Department of Public Social Services (DPSS).
