Testimonials
Red Earth’s community leadership program has given me both the skills and the confidence to put myself “out there” and to take hold of opportunities I would previously thought “good idea” but not thought I was “enough” to try for it. I have developed an extensive group of mentors, peers and friends that I can turn to for both community and personal growth. I feel the program has shown me how to access the keys to the door, a map for the journey and the resources to venture on. Thank you!

I spent four years doing a Masters degree in Leadership, in which I learnt so much and thoroughly enjoyed. I enjoyed and learnt as much participating in the SBCLP as I did in my Masters course (if not more) – with the added benefit of making great new friends from the Burnett region, recognising my own value as a leader and team member, and joining a larger alumni who are passionate about their communities and about leadership. I can’t speak highly enough of Red Earth’s program and look forward to supporting it for many years to come.
