THE YES! PROGRAMME

THE ROLE OF A MENTOR/ADVISOR IN THE YES! PROGRAMME

Mentors are there to offer advice, give of their experience in GCCF and support our YES! Candidates at cat shows across the UK. We have now initiated Regional Mentors to ensure our candidates are supported wherever they live in the UK and do not feel isolated. Regional Mentors will liaise with local show managers to put on presentations; they will meet YES! candidates at shows, introduce them to other mentors and breeders of particular interest to the candidate; they will make sure candidates understand the work they are doing at each level and check through candidates' work folders, helping them with any problems they may have. This new idea will ensure there is someone at shows the YES! candidates can meet and chat to about the programme and their progress. We will be putting up photographs of our officials and regional mentors on the YES! website so they can be recognised by parents and candidates.
