Education
Training is the most important part of the CalWORKs program. As a cash aid recipient, students can obtain the training they need in order to be independent and have financial freedom. Acquiring a higher level of education means obtaining a career, with a more substantial income and long term stability.
You may qualify for assistance with books, educational supplies, as well as child
