The Alice Springs Desert Leadership Program will increase the leadership capacity of the Alice Springs community, through leadership development for the next generation of leaders over two years.
- Building, supporting and skilling the next generation of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal leaders, preparing them for a shared future
- Addressing the substantial barriers to leadership development in Alice Springs
- Encouraging emerging leaders to commit long-term to the town and community – rather than seeking challenges elsewhere
- Addressing the barriers to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal emerging leaders working together, creating on-going working relationships and a shared commitment to collaborative leadership
- Co-developing the program with today’s town’s leaders to ensure relevance and local sensitivity. Offering present leaders the opportunity to Mentor and support
- Designed to not only connect emerging leaders locally, but to develop networks (and skills) with leaders outside of the desert – corporate, government and in the not-for-profit sectors

"The need for a leadership program that builds the next generation of leaders in desert Australia, and is built on the reality that we are a multicultural nation should not be underestimated.
The Desert Leadership Program offers participants the opportunity to realise their strengths and talents and develop skills to lead in today’s collaborative world. The program will equip participants with practical and applicable knowledge to make an impact, build confidence and commitment to community."
