Applications are now open for the 2022 Cardinia Community Leadership Program.

The free program provides up to 22 participants with an opportunity to grow their leadership skills and networks, and learn from a host of guest speakers, local leaders, and program alumni.

Cardinia Shire mayor Jeff Springfield said the program covers topics to help participants in building their capacity as leaders within their local neighbourhoods.

“I encourage all aspiring and emerging leaders within Cardinia Shire to apply for this incredible learning opportunity,” Cr Springfield said.

The course runs from July to November and has been designed to prepare participants for success in their community leadership roles.

Participants will learn how to effectively contribute to decision-making processes, think creatively and logically about addressing community challenges, and how to strengthen relationships through valuing and respecting diversity and inclusion.

Places in the 2022 program are limited to 22 participants and to be eligible, applicants must be a Cardinia Shire Council resident, 18 years or over, already involved in the local community in some way and able to attend all program sessions.

Applications close at 5pm on Friday 3 June.
