Cal-Learn Program Introduction

[EAS 42-762]

The Cal-Learn program was established to assist CalWORKs teen parents in becoming self-sufficient by addressing the unique educational, vocational, training, health and other social service needs they may require. Financial incentives and penalties are used to encourage these teen parents to stay in or return to school and earn a high school diploma or its equivalent. In addition, a case manager works with the teen parent and provides intensive case management as well as supportive services.
