Mission Statement

CalWORKS logo: Education that works - California Community Colleges

The CalWORKs Program at OCC assists student-parents with family self-sufficiency by promoting post-secondary education while gaining transferable work skills. CalWORKs staff is committed to providing a safe space for our student-parents to feel supported, encouraged, valued, and motivated while achieving their academic and career goals. We partner with the County of Orange Social Services Agency, ResCare, Inc., MAXIMUS, and other community agencies to achieve these objectives.
