Step up to Leadership

HRM Community Relations & Cultural Affairs will be hosting three Step Up to Leadership Training sessions this March. They will be offered in Spryfield, Lakeside and Lake Echo. These sessions are open to all individuals living in HRM and not just for individuals residing in those areas.

Step Up to Leadership training is a free, 8 week course designed for community members to develop their leadership skills and build on their involvement in community causes and organizations.
