BACKGROUND:
The California Legislature established the Cal Learn program with the passage of Senate Bill 35 and 1078
(Chapters 69 and 1252, Statutes of 1993). The statute required that each county submit, as a supplement to
its GAIN Plan, a plan to implement Cal Learn. Contra Costa County implemented its Plan in August 1,
1994.
The program was specifically designed to benefit pregnant and parenting teens. In a continuing effort to
assist the teen in the successful transition from Cal Learn to Ca1WORKs and then to unsubsidized
employment, Supporting Transitions to Employment Program (STEP) was developed.
East Bay Perinatal Council has been under contract with the County to provide Cal Learn case management
and supportive services since the State inception of the program. The addition of STEP allows East Bay
Perinatal Council to provide a continuum of supportive services to insure the optimum success of the teen as
they move toward self-sufficiency. r n
