Parents for the Culture of Caring
We are a group of parents who are part of the CalWORKs Program at the Grossmont College. Our hope is to spread messages of hope and guidance through this parenting blog. The CalWORKs Program does the same but through providing educational services to student parents who are on their journey to a higher education.
The main goal of this blog is to aid parents in their journey of parenting. Parents are not only working to provide for their families, but many may also be studying to get a higher educational degree. Parents can find tips and learn more about parenting skills to be better prepared as a parent.
