A Council program for community minded Mooraboolites is taking applications for its third year, and is completely free.<\/p>\n

The Community Leadership Program is open for applications until 31 March, with the 18-week program free for Moorabool residents, or anyone with a connection to Moorabool, over the age of 16.<\/p>\n

Julie is a 2021 participant and said she was reluctant to apply at first, but was glad she did.<\/p>\n

“I saw the Community Leadership Program two weeks prior to when it closed, and I just disregarded it. It was so far outside my comfort zone. I didn\u2019t know anyone in the town, I was new\u2026and then I thought, give it a go, what have I got to lose?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have walked away with so much more than I could’ve ever anticipated. I have experienced a change of my perception of leadership while participating in the program. I don\u2019t consider myself a leader, but I have realised we lead every day without knowing and we can be an influence on those around us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another participant, David, said he was unsure about applying due to the time required, but had no regrets about taking part.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom a personal point of view, when deciding to join the program, I was a little bit apprehensive due to the time commitment involved and that was a little hurdle I had to get over initially, but I couldn’t have done anything better with my time. By the end of the program we are actually making real change with our projects moving forward,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe connections we have built along the way with community groups, within Council and our connections within our group, some of which are potentially lifelong. We never would have been at that stage if we hadn\u2019t have done this program.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe positive experience we have gained from this program has provided me the tools to be a better community leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

Projects completed by Community Leadership Program participants include last years \u2018Bacchus Marsh says Thank You Frontline Workers\u2019, and the Moorabool Paste Ups Program, which currently has artwork on buildings across the shire.<\/p>\n
