Community Training
Community group members can now attend a series of workshops designed to help them to develop the skills and knowledge to effectively manage their community groups and to initiate and implement community projects.
These workshops are provided at no cost to community members and include resources and a light supper. They are part of a new community development project being supported by Mansfield Shire Council, Mansfield Community Education Centre, Mansfield and District Community Bank and the Victorian Government through the provision of a Victorian Community Support Grant.
Bookings are required: Ph: 5775 2077 or email: info@mace.org.au
