Workshops & Events

                    Building thriving community schools takes more than a single strategy—it requires strong relationships, shared leadership, and a commitment to continuous learning. Our workshops are designed to help educators, school leaders, Community School Coordinators, and district teams strengthen their practice, learn alongside peers, and leave with practical tools they can apply in their own communities. Whether you're just beginning your community school journey or looking to deepen and sustain your work, we're here to learn with you. Explore the workshops below to find the learning experience that's right for you.

Participants consistently tell us our workshops provide practical, relevant learning they can take back to their schools, districts, and communities.

Tools for the journey

More than ideas, you'll leave with tangible tools, frameworks, and approaches you can put into action immediately. You’ll return to your work with greater clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of what to do next.

Learn alongside peers

Community schools are built on relationships. Our workshops create space to connect with fellow practitioners, share challenges and successes, and gain insights you can bring back to your own community.

Real experience, practical insight

In a CSLX workshop, you'll learn from leaders who have supported community school development at the site, district, county, and state levels. Think practical insight, hard-earned lessons, and a deep understanding of what it takes to create lasting change.

Wondering how this work fits within your community?

Every community school is shaped by its own relationships, priorities, partnerships, and local context. Whether you're working to align community schools with existing initiatives, navigate different stakeholder perspectives, or determine what makes the most sense for your context, we'd love to think it through with you.
