Outreach & Workshops
Churchill Center & School’s Sandra K. Gilligan School Partnerships & Outreach Program is essential in strengthening our mission of fostering greater understanding and support for all people with learning disabilities by training other educators, supporting families, and enlightening the community.
Since the inception of our Community Outreach Program in 1990, more than 37,500 educators, parents, students, and other supporters have been given the opportunity to experience and broaden their understanding of learning disabilities.
We offer Teacher Workshops, Parent Workshops, Student Workshops, Community Service Events, and a Speaker Series. Each one of these programs offers our community a variety of services to recognize learning disabilities and to then equip the participants with strategies and knowledge to offer further assistance.

Says Mr. Blank, "I started running in elementary school, and I've never really stopped. Running has been my safe space, my biggest challenge, and the arena in which I test myself. In 2018 I completed the longest run of my life: The World Marathon Challenge (7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days). Running has helped me through school, in sports operations, fund-raising for the International Dyslexia Association, writing a book, coaching and ultimately connecting to the world."
Join us for an informal evening with Jared. Hear his story about growing up dyslexic, how running is an essential part of his life, and learn more about the World Marathon Challenge. Be inspired and encouraged by his passion and insight. It's an event not to be missed!
