The have partnered with CalWORKs advocates to effect change in law in regards to CalWORKs students and their families.
They also produce a publication each year, CalWORKs Student Voices, to highlight our students that is sent to legislators and college administrators. We are very proud of our students. Look on the website for the online version. Students who send in an entry for CalWORKs Student Voices are eligible for a scholarship in several categories.
- CalWORKs Association Student Voices
- This is the annual publication of CalWORKs student stories. Students are invited to apply for a scholarship and share their story using one of the affinity group prompts. The stories are then published in a publication that is used to show legislators how CalWORKs students are changing their families lives through the support of college CalWORKs programs. The Cuyamaca CalWORKs office will let students know when applications are open for the next scholarship opportunity.
