Across the country, community colleges provide significant on-ramps to higher education and opportunities for skill enhancement for low-to-moderate-income families, including student parents, at a fraction of the cost of four-year private institutions. They are often a steppingstone to career advancement and economic security for parents and their children. This brief provides an analysis of the experiences of student parents enrolled at Los Angeles Valley College, highlighting barriers and obstacles to degree attainment, and an in-depth analysis of how wrap-around services provided by the Family Resource Center improve outcomes. Barriers include family and academic stressors; lack of high quality, reliable child care; and juggling family financial obligations and the cost of tuition, among others. This brief's overarching goals are to: (1) Provide baseline information and data on the experiences of student parents enrolled at Los Angeles Valley College; (2) Understand the role the Family Resource Center plays in helping students succeed; and (3) Provide recommendations and strategies to strengthen services and fill gaps for student parents.
