Overview

10 out of 10 is a 10-month capacity building and mentoring program which aims to enhance performance, productivity and results for 10 local community organisations.

Why is this project important for the community?

There’s a reliance on government agencies to solve problems faced by communities, but government agencies also express a need for communities to create solutions for themselves.

This program fosters community led outcomes providing IP, skills, training, professional development, encouragement, support – where it’s wanted and needed.

Participating organisations have the opportunity to work through ‘challenges’ during the workshop, and over a 10-month period with their selected mentor.

Important benefits for community:

  • Fostering a culture of sharing local knowledge as opposed to bringing in experts from ‘out of town’, through accessing skills/expertise from mentors. Enabling real relationships to develop locally, increasing potential for sustainable support structures to develop
  • Creating a ripple effect of positive impact via the success of organisations involved and community outcomes they deliver.
  • Organisations involved providing leadership to other groups wanting to grow and expand, paying benefits forward.
  • Instilling aspiration and setting a standard for emerging groups/NFPs through application process/selective criteria
  • Providing inspiration/resources to assist others grow their impact by sharing stories/lessons learned.

Community project themes

Themes are broadly about creating positive change across a variety of challenges, while all will foster local community-led solutions and building resilience in communities.
