Leadership Development Programme
A groundbreaking initiative designed to strengthen leadership within small
not-for-profit organisations.
In 2024, Community Waitākere launched the Leadership Development Programme, a groundbreaking initiative designed to strengthen leadership within small not-for-profit organisations.
Developed through extensive focus group feedback, the prgramme is aimed at managers serving in Māori and Pāsifika communities in West Auckland.
This free professional development opportunity equips them with essential skills in governance, strategy, project management, finance and more.
Through a series of targeted workshops, funded through support from Lotteries DIA, participants gain practical knowledge in financial management, mental health and well-being, policy development, and strategic planning, ensuring they can lead their organisations with confidence.
By investing in community leaders, Community Waitākere is building a more resilient and capable sector. Through collaboration, education, and mentorship, this programme is shaping strong, confident leaders who will drive positive change and create lasting benefits for West Auckland communities.
