ARE you, or is someone you know, an aspiring community leader?<\/p>\n

The City of Greater Geelong’s 2025 Community Leadership Program seeks to empower emerging and grassroots leaders to make a difference locally.<\/p>\n

This program, which Council is offering at no charge to participants, seeks to build their understanding of the wide-ranging needs of the Geelong community while providing essential leadership and professional growth opportunities.<\/p>\n

The program spans eight months, from March to October 2025, and eight all-day face-to-face sessions will be held on the second Wednesday of each month.<\/p>\n

The sessions offer hands-on activities, interactive experiences, guided individual tasks and site visits to various venues around the Geelong region.<\/p>\n

Passionate and skilled leaders have never been in greater demand, and this program seeks to amplify the impact of our leaders within the community.<\/p>\n

The Community Leadership Program is open to anyone over the age of 18 with a strong interest in leadership who lives, works or volunteers within the Greater Geelong region.<\/p>\n

The program focuses on personal development by promoting healthy mindsets and professional development through unique experiences.<\/p>\n

By learning skills in communication, resilience, problem-solving and more, participants explore what it means to be a leader and how to inspire others.<\/p>\n

Participants will receive a direct look at the impact of effective leadership across different sectors with insights from recognised community and industry experts.<\/p>\n

No formal professional experience is needed for this program \u2013 just a passion for community leadership and a desire to learn.<\/p>\n

During the program, community members will participate in experiences aimed at supporting emerging leaders with personal and professional growth opportunities.<\/p>\n

The City of Greater Geelong is committed to developing skilled leaders in our region and, at its core, this program is designed for those ready to grow as community-minded leaders.<\/p>\n

Seeing real-world examples helps participants better understand their region’s needs and challenges.<\/p>\n

Such insight gives future leaders the confidence to take their place in projects that benefit the whole community.<\/p>\n

Program graduates will become members of the Community Leadership Alumni, giving them ongoing opportunities to network with other local leaders and partake in professional development workshops.<\/p>\n

A unique feature of the program is its emphasis on diversity and inclusion, which enriches participants’ experiences by exposing them to unique perspectives that broaden their understanding of the community.<\/p>\n

This diversity encourages greater adaptability and open-mindedness in tackling community issues.<\/p>\n

People of all backgrounds, abilities and life experiences are encouraged to apply, and the City will work with applicants to address any potential barriers to participation.<\/p>\n

Applications for the next intake close on Friday, November 22, and the first session will be held on March 23, 2025.<\/p>\n
