The Moira Shire Community Leadership Program is designed to help new, emerging, and existing community leaders who are 18-years and over to develop their personal leadership skills, create new personal and professional networks, and learn about local government. It offers a free opportunity to develop leadership skills and build upon existing ones that participants can use in their professional and personal lives. 

The Program focusses on equipping community members with the leadership skills necessary to navigate and mitigate the impacts of emergencies, thereby fostering cohesion and resilience for future challenges.

The Program, funded under the Community Recovery Hubs Program (HUBS) and was developed in response to the October 2022 Flood event. It aims to enhance community resilience and preparedness. 

Council recommends the support of a mentor through the program, mentorship plays a crucial role in leadership development, providing guidance, support, and valuable insights to aspiring leaders.
