Interested in providing training-workshops or capacity-building courses?
Building capacity is at the heart of community development and community empowerment. When communities are well organised, inclusive, influential and cohesive they create a positive environment for people to enjoy a good quality of life.
As part of MECOSS' work to increase the capacity of individuals and groups working at a community level in Manukau East, we are keen to open up channels for them to access development opportunities.
If you're interested in providing training-workshops or capacity-building courses to enrich voluntary or not-for-profit community groups and social enterprise organisations, or you'd like to suggest a course you'd like to see MECOSS consider running, please email lindsay.upton@mecoss.org.nz
