South Australian Regional Community Leadership Program

The South Australian Regional Community Leadership Program is the first regional community leadership program of its type established in rural South Australia. It provides a forum for existing and future leaders to share their knowledge, skills and experiences with those who will further SA regional development. SARCLP is supported by the University of SA, and endorsed by the Upper Spencer Gulf Common Purpose Group as well as the major industries and communities of the Upper Spencer and northern regions of South Australia. The program is administered with the support of Advancing Whyalla Inc. and is located at the UniSA Whyalla campus. The primary goal of the SARCLP is to build leadership resources within the upper Spencer Gulf and Northern communities, in the first instance. It encourages participants to enter into a wider community system of interest, by providing new perspectives and a broader understanding of regional issues. Through the SARCLP, current and emerging leaders will be further committed and empowered to make a personal and community difference.
