Resilience Canopy - Pathway to Practice - Alpine Valleys Community Leadership

Are You Ready to Step into Action?

We have partnered with The Resilience Canopy to deliver a Pathway to Practice pilot — connecting leadership with action on the ground to build stronger, future-ready communities.

Through this pilot, up to 10 AVCL Alumni have the opportunity to take part in the Resilience Canopy Practitioner Program at no cost.

The Resilience Canopy is a national movement supporting communities to lead their own resilience journey — building strength, connection, and readiness for the challenges they face. The program takes a different approach: one that’s self-determined, locally led, and backed by the tools, relationships, and partners needed to turn ideas into action.

The Details At A Glance

Participants will use a supported six-step model to lead practical action in their communities — while connecting with a growing network of Canopy practitioners working to strengthen local resilience across Australia.

This course has identified a learning gap for me, and I have now enrolled in Diploma Leadership and Management to increase my knowledge to know more for my work and community projects. Thank you for showing me where to focus my energies.
