ABOUT THE CARE PROGRAM

WE BELIEVE IN YOU.

The CARE Program celebrates the strength and resilience of solo parenting students. At GCC, you don’t have to navigate school and family on your own, because CARE connects you with resources, advocacy, and a supportive community of student-parents who understand your journey. We honor the powerful skills you bring and walk beside you with encouragement and tools to help you thrive in college and beyond.
