Background

In our ongoing efforts to strengthen volunteers within the Wellington Shire, we have been offering targeted training opportunities based off the valuable feedback we receive. We hope to ensure committees and volunteers have the tools, knowledge and resources to function effectively and continue to make impactful contributions to our community.

In 2022, we conducted a comprehensive survey that allowed us to understand the training requirements and preferences of our community members. As a direct response to the insight gained from that survey, in 2023 we introduced an array of training sessions at addressing the identified needs:
