Gavilan College Foster Youth Services

Gavilan College and EOPS welcome Foster Youth!

Are you currently, or have you been, in foster care?

At Gavilan College, we are committed to providing our Foster Youth with the level of services and support they need. Through our partnership with campus staff and resources, we can help you develop an academic, career, and personal plan that will help you achieve your lifelong goals.

We are also here to assist you remotely (online or over the phone) while the campus is closed or offering limited services due to COVID-19. 

For Foster Youth questions or assistance at Gavilan College you can email the EOPS Office, Foster Youth Liaison, at eops@gavilan.edu or call at 408-848-4740, Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm.
