School Connect CAFE
Join a round table conversation with a school principal to learn how you or your organization can work directly with a local school community!
What Is A CAFÉ?
A CAFE is a round table conversation between a school principal and the local leaders of their community in which the partners work together to address the needs of neighborhood children and families. Together, they plan projects that will leverage the assets of the community and bring support where it will make the greatest impact. This village of support has the potential to transform a child’s life, a school’s life, and even the entire community.
