At Pollyanna, our workshops are designed to do more than inform. They are designed to move communities forward.

Through both in-person experiences and our year-long Circle Membership, we create opportunities for educators, administrators, parents/caregivers, trustees, and students to engage in meaningful learning that is practical, relevant, and immediately applicable. Our workshops bring together voices from across the country who are doing this work every day, sharing what is working, what is challenging, and what is possible.

The Pollyanna Circle Membership

Our Circle Membership is the most impactful way to engage with Pollyanna’s workshop offerings.

Designed as a year-long experience for schools, the Circle provides your entire community with access to 20 live virtual workshops, along with on-demand recordings, allowing participants to engage in real time or on their own schedule.

This is not one-off professional development. It is sustained, ongoing learning that helps schools build momentum, deepen understanding, and stay connected to a broader network of communities committed to growth.

Through the Circle, your community gains:

• Unlimited access for all employees across all workshops

• Flexible participation through live sessions and recordings

• Exposure to a wide range of expert practitioners and perspectives

• Practical strategies that can be applied immediately

• A consistent thread of learning throughout the year

In-Person Workshops

In addition to our virtual offerings, Pollyanna partners with schools and organizations to design and facilitate in-person workshops tailored to their unique goals and needs.

These sessions create space for deeper connection, shared reflection, and community-specific application. Whether working with faculty, leadership teams, students, parents/caregivers, or trustees, our in-person workshops are designed to meet communities where they are and help move them forward with clarity and purpose.

Workshop Topics

Our workshops address the real questions and challenges facing schools today. Recent and upcoming topics include:

• Belonging Through Shared Humanity

• Leading Through Complexity: A Strategic Approach to Tackling Big Challenges

• It Takes Just One: How Educators Can Transform the Lives of LGBTQ+ Students

• The Pluralism Pit: Why this Framework Excludes

• Advancing Leadership for Trustees & Board Members

• Partnering for Belonging: Parents as Partners in School Communities

Whether experienced through the Circle Membership or in person, Pollyanna workshops equip participants with the tools, language, and confidence to lead and contribute meaningfully within their communities.

All in service of Building Stronger and Kinder Communities.
