Program Outline

Two half-day workshops for the people who enrich community life for others. The Volunteer Development Program is a series of two connected half-day workshops, designed specifically for people who give their time to community groups, committees, sporting clubs, hall associations, progress groups, and everything in between.

Each workshop runs from 10.00am to 2.00pm, with time to arrive, settle in, have a cup of tea, and connect with others before we begin. There is a relaxed lunch break in the middle where you can chat, swap stories, and build connections with volunteers from other groups across the Shire.

Program Outline

Step In, Step Up is a self-paced, online short course on governance essentials covering everything a new community committee member needs to know. If you’ve recently joined a not-for-profit community board or committee, or you’re thinking of joining one, or if it’s your role to ensure new board members get a good induction, this is the course for you. The course will take you through the legal and ethical responsibilities of a not-for-profit committee member and give you all the tools you need to get up to speed quickly and start contributing immediately.

The course is delivered through an e-learning management system, meaning participants can study in their own time and at their own pace. Participants will receive a certificate upon completion.
