I'm fundraising for leadership in the NT!
This May, I’m taking on the Leadership on Larapinta FUNdraising Walk, trekking 100km through the stunning Larapinta Trail to raise funds for a Central Australian leader to participate in the Australian Rural Leadership Program (ARLP).
The ARLP is a life-changing 15-month leadership program that builds skills, confidence, and networks for leaders in rural, regional, and remote Australia. But not everyone has access to a scholarship, which is why I’m stepping up to help fund one.
🎯 My goal is to raise $2,500, contributing to our shared goal of $55,000 to fully fund a scholarship. 100% of funds go directly to the scholarship.
💙 Please support me by donating today! Every contribution makes a difference.

Welcome
Tuesday 18th MarHi everyone, I’m Werner Vogels, and I live on Bangerang Country in Glenrowan, North East Victoria. Originally from the Netherlands, my idea of home is shaped by canals, cows, green meadows, and cycling through the snow—but also by the Warby Ovens National Park, where I now find myself surrounded by grass trees, cockatoos, and kookaburras.
Since moving to Australia in 2009 with my wife Corina and our then 3-year-old son Finn (and later welcoming our daughter Luna in 2011), I’ve spent my career in mental health, academia, and impact measurement. As Insights Manager for the Foundation, I explore change, leadership development, and its impact on people and communities.
This year, I’m making a personal commitment to raising funds for a Territorian to participate in the 2026 Australian Rural Leadership Program (ARLP). I’ve heard firsthand the powerful stories of leaders creating change after completing the ARLP, and I’ve experienced the value of leadership development myself, even in a shorter course.
If you believe in supporting leadership for the common good, I invite you to sponsor a Territorian’s place in next year’s ARLP. Every dollar raised helps someone step up, grow, and create impact in their community.
