Community Resources
One of the main goals that parents mentors work on while teaming up with parents, schools and communities is to work to improve graduation rates for students with disabilities. C.A.F.E.s (Circles of Adults Focused on Education) are one of the ways that team approach has evolved over the years, beginning in 2008 with a document published by the national Dropout Prevention Center Network and is the basis of the shared work.
