CalWORKs is a welfare program designed to help people develop the skills necessary for employment leading to financial independence. You could be eligible if you are receiving cash aid from the Dept. of Social Services and you have a child who is under 18 years of age.

You must:

• Maintain a 32 hour a week schedule of approved work and education related activities.
• Work with a Saddleback College CalWORKs counselor to create an educational plan and complete it within 60 months.
• Complete monthly reports as required by the county, and meet with your Saddleback College CalWORKs counselor to track your progress towards your academic goals.
• Maintain a 2.0 G.P.A.

Tutoring/Study time counts toward your 32 hour requirement. Visit the LAP tutoring lab, in the library, rm 114. Hours are 8-8 M-TH, 8-2 Friday.

Enroll in tutoring 300 so your study time can be tracked and counted in your 32 hour requirement.

Make a counseling apt. if you need help with study skills. We are here to help!
