Extended Opportunity
Program & Services

Welcome to the EOPS Program

Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS)
The Extended Opportunity Program and Services (EOPS) at Saddleback College is committed to the outreach, success, and retention of college students. The EOPS Program is designed to assist students from educational and socioeconomic disadvantaged backgrounds. The goals of the EOPS Program are to prepare students to transfer to four-year universities, complete an Associate Degree or achieve a vocational certificate.

Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education (CARE)
Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education (CARE) is an extension of the EOPS program. CARE serves as an educational support/assistance program for single head-of-household parents who are participants of the California Work Opportunities and Responsibility to Kids Program (CalWORKS)/Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
