The City of Casey is committed to supporting strong, diverse, and active community leadership. From 2021-2024, our Community Leadership Program (CLP) empowered 117 community members to build skills, confidence, and networks, preparing them for civic and community leadership.
Graduates of the CLP continue to stay involved through Casey Catalyst, our alumni network made up of community leaders who remain connected to Council, support one another, and lead initiatives across Casey.
We also offer Step Up: Empowering Community Leaders and Groups, a free community capacity building program with workshops tailored to support emerging and experienced community leaders.
We partner with local community organisations that offer their own leadership programs, working together to create a stronger, more connected network of support and development across the City of Casey.
