California's Work Opportunities and Responsibilities to Kids (CalWORKs)

CalWORKs in Riverside, CA, is dedicated to providing essential temporary financial assistance to eligible families with minor children experiencing reduced income or financial hardship. Our mission is to empower families to meet their basic needs while fostering their journey towards self-sufficiency and workforce re-entry. We offer a comprehensive array of services, including financial support, basic skills classes, vocational training, and short-term courses designed to enhance employability, including English-as-a-Second Language programs. Though assistance is typically limited to 48 months for adults, we recognize unique circumstances and provide exceptions when needed, ensuring that every family can find their path to stability and success.
