The CalWORKs program provides assistance to continuing or new students who are receiving TANF/CalWORKs (Cash Aid) benefits. They offer academic counseling, priority registration, and welfare-to-work advocacy with professional development workshops. They also provide liaison with county social services, on/off-campus program referrals, work-study opportunities, and support for transportation and educational supplies, along with career and personal counseling in a safe, confidential environment for welfare-to-work transitional students.

Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) is a state funded program designed to encourage the enrollment, retention, and the transfer of students challenged by language, social, economic (federal poverty guidelines), and educational disadvantages, and to facilitate the successful completion of their goals and objectives in college.

Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education (CARE) offers additional support services to EOPS students who are single parent on TANF (Transitional Assistance for Needy Families) and to break the welfare dependency cycle by completing college level educational training programs, and therefore, become more employable and economically self-sufficient.

As a Moorpark College student-parent you may qualify for childcare assistance through CCAMPIS funding.
