Applications open for Community Leadership Program

Applications are now open for the City of Marion’s Community Leadership Program for 2022.

The Council started this free program back in 2008 to build community capacity and develop future leaders.

The program involves a series of interactive workshops with program convenors, Council staff and community leaders. The workshops cover topics such as facilitation skills, conflict resolution, how to negotiate, and how to deliver a presentation.

“Do you want to make a positive difference in your community? Do you want to develop your own leadership skills? If so, Marion Council invites you to apply for our 2022 Community Leadership Program,” said Mayor of Marion Kris Hanna.

The program runs over 11 weeks starting July 25, with a graduation ceremony on September 12. There are 20 spots available for people 18 years and over who live, work, play or study in the City of Marion.

Previous participants have included City of Marion volunteers who have been involved in our community gardens, local service clubs or sporting clubs, plus people who study or work in Marion.

Applications close on 4 July. To find out more and to download your application form, visit the City of Marion website.
