Stronger Communities Workshops

The Stronger Communities Workshops program provides practical, informative and engaging training opportunities for Ipswich community organisations, sporting clubs and not-for-profit groups.

Since the program commenced in 2021 more than 400 local clubs, community groups and organisations have participated, building the skills, knowledge and networks needed to strengthen their impact in the Ipswich community.

Each year, workshop topics are shaped by feedback from local groups, volunteers and community leaders to ensure training responds to the challenges and opportunities facing our community sector.

Whether you're new to committee leadership or looking to strengthen your organisation's sustainability, these FREE workshops offer valuable insights and practical tools that can be applied immediately.
