Community Voices Leadership Development Training for Vance County
This training series is designed for:
- People who want to be trained to help others to discuss critical community issues.
- People who want to create a shared vision for their community’s future.
- People who are interested in learning good listening and communication skills.
- People who are willing to volunteer their time to implement a community action plan in support of this community effort.
The training session began with a tremendous kick-off session on April 9, 2019, and we want to keep the momentum going. The sessions will be held nearly once a week and will run through late-June over the next 7 to 8 weeks. Members of our community who have been trained to serve as facilitators for this program will be running the sessions. We plan to conclude the training program with an Action Forum & Graduation in June after the holiday season.
Sessions are held at the Vance Co. Regional Farmers Market, 210 Southpark Drive in Henderson at 6 p.m. on the scheduled dates below. Some adjustments may be made to the schedule as needed.
