QFCA Leadership Development and Training

The QFCA believes in developing and training the Neighbourhood and Community Centre sector in Community Development Practice, Place Based Methodology and Human Services Delivery so that our centres may be leaders in the field.
We are often approached about training and workshops specifically for Neighbourhood and Community Centres and recommend the following organisations:
Community leadership is the courage, creativity and capacity to inspire participation, development and sustainability for strong communities.
