To address the issue of equal access to a college
education, the state Legislature in 1969 established EOPS (Extended Opportunity Programs and Services) throughout the state's
community college system. Today, through a variety of unique services, programs,
and activities, EOPS provides access and educational opportunity for individuals
whose educational and socio-economic backgrounds might otherwise prevent them
from successfully attending and succeeding in college. CARE (Cooperative
Agencies Resources for Education) is a unique educational program which
represents a cooperative effort between the community college system, Department
of Social Services, and community organizations to assist single parents in
achieving their educational goals.
