Students with Children Get Help Reaching Academic Goals through Merritt’s CalWORKs Program

Claire Crosetti, Merritt’s CalWORKs coordinator, assists new students at orientation while their children keep busy. The program helps families with dependent children pursue their academic goals by providing case management services to students who are enrolled in classes and receiving public assistance so they can become self-sufficient in the workforce.
