*Dates available in September, November, and February*
The Civic Leadership Project is designed to support women 18+ who seek to contribute and be involved in their neighbourhood community leagues.
The 2-day training sessions will focus on leadership development and board awareness training that will increase capacity to access volunteer opportunities in community leagues and in the greater Edmonton volunteer sector.
This free* workshop prioritizes women of diverse backgrounds who want to understand community league board roles and responsibilities while embracing the fundamental leadership qualities they already have. Participants will be supported in both successes and challenges as they figure out how they can best build their strengths through volunteerism while building communities they feel safe and included in.

*Community league membership is required.

Please see the EFCL Website for more info and to register

Volunteers with general interest in joining the board are always welcome.

Volunteer commitment is approximately one board meeting per month (about 1.5 hours), plus meetings at appropriate outside organization meetings a few times a year. Time commitment at events is about 4 hours per month.
