Volunteer Leadership Program
Applications are now open
The Volunteer Leadership Program (VLP) equips volunteers from community organisations, not-for-profits, disaster relief organisations and local government within the emergency management sector, with the skills and confidence to grow as leaders.
The VLP experience is immersive and collaborative, bringing together volunteers from different organisations and agencies to build knowledge and share experiences with each other. The program explores practical leadership frameworks through interactive learning, and participants gain both self-awareness and an enhanced ability to understand and contribute to their organisations.
To be considered for the VLP, applicants must:
- be an active volunteer working within emergency management, recovery and disaster resilience in Australia.
- be 18 years of age or over on the day the course commences
- be available to participate over the weekend (the program runs from 4:30pm Friday to 2:00pm Sunday)
- have the support of their agency to participate in the program
- be prepared to undertake approximately two hours of pre-course work
- submit an application by the closing date, answering all questions on the application form.
Successful applicants will be notified at least two weeks prior to the course commencing. The program date in Perth is 13th to 15th May 2022 and application are due by 8th April 2022.
