Cooperative
Agencies Resources for Education (CARE) About CARE The State of
California established the Cooperative Agencies Resources for
Education (CARE) program in the California Community Colleges as "a
unique educational program geared toward the welfare recipient who
desires job-relevant education to break the dependency cycle. In
2007, the CARE program celebrates its 30th year since its founding
as an EOPS Special Project at Imperial Valley College and 25th
anniversary as the first state-funded and system wide program of
its kind in the nation. Nearly 10,000 students seeking a viable
alternative to continued public assistance for personal and family
support are provided educational support services every year
through 110 CARE programs at all 72 community college districts in
California.
