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.
Reviews from Outreach Program Attendees:
- “What a great role model Churchill Center & School is for our community.”

– Middle School Director - “You had a positive impact on me when you presented at our school, and I am still using your references.”
– High School Principal - “Faculty members found the topics to be pertinent and directed to their needs and concerns.”

College Opportunities Fair
You are invited to attend our annual College Opportunities Fair! This event is open to all area high school students and their families.
The Fair is a chance for colleges to showcase their programs and services available for LD and ADHD students, and to give students a chance to explore their options in a small, more intimate setting.
Representatives will be available in individual rooms so families can visit at their own pace. Reps will speak on their school's featured services, admission criteria, what makes them unique and will answer any questions you may have.
Come whenever you want that evening and stay as long as you need!
