Community Leadership
Growing local leadership and collaboration skills is critical to the success of community-led projects and activities. The key to this activity is listening to what our community organisations want to achieve, both individually and as a collective, and then enabling access to the skills and resources needed to achieve the desired outcomes.
Community leadership will likely include activities such as:
- facilitating community workshops on a range of topics,
- sourcing and/or delivering community governance training, and
- supporting organisations with advocacy to key decision-makers within council.
