Can you see a way to fix a local problem or create an opportunity for your rural community but don’t know where to start?
Are you hungry to learn from other rural communities who are building a new future from within?
Do you want to find ways to balance a community and business model?

Be part of REJUVENATE – a new way of connecting, supporting, and guiding rural people who want to build and sustain community-led initiatives that address a local problem or create an opportunity.

Designed by the Australian Centre for Rural Entrepreneurship (ACRE), REJUVENATE is being offered across six Local Government Areas in Victoria, including Wodonga.

What’s on offer

REJUVENATE is not a course. It is about developing a new mindset, new skills, and new trusted networks. At each stage of REJUVENATE you will be supported with facilitated discussions, practical resources and offered access to skills, knowledge and know-how to bring your community-led initiative to life or grow it to a new level.

An invitation to connect + learn

Join a workshop where you can meet other people in your local community who are also developing initiatives to address a problem or create an opportunity. Explore different models of rural entrepreneurship, including social enterprise and community-asset ownership, and start identifying essential foundations needed to bring a community-led initiative to life or take an existing initiative to a new level.

Thanks to funding support from Emergency Response Victoria, there is no cost to attend. Catering and resources will be provided free of charge.
