Thus, Keepcats is launching a programme called the Keepcats Mentorship Programme where Keepcats will assist students and youths in initiating their projects and help to follow through them.
This programme encapsulates:
1) Assistance in helping to anchor the direction the students or youths hope to go into
2) Helping to vet their proposals
3) Assistance in the planning stage of the project
4) Follow up on the project and giving of feedback after execution
5) Advice to improve on the next project (if long running)
6) Meeting with the students and youths
This will strongly help in encouraging youths to take their first step in promoting animal welfare if there is someone to support them. When I just started Keepcats, I remembered doing things all from scratch and seeking guidance everywhere, from Cat Welfare Society, to SPCA to the caregivers. And sometimes, it gets pretty confusing because there wasn't someone experience in project management to advise me. Therefore, i believe with a mentor, they will be able to be better guided and perhaps their projects will be more successful than Keepcats!
Or sometimes, some groups of friend might want want to start a project but do not not how, especially if this is just a personal interest.
Or if they are individuals, we can always get a group of individuals and help them start a group or slot them in with existing groups
Dear Potential Mentors
We need some Manpower to help us!
1) someone to email to schools to see if schools are interested to partner with us, especially if their students are interested to do a project on animal welfare. After which collate and coordiante with mentors and the students/youths
2) Someone to design posters on this programme
3) Mentors! To guide students/youths (must be an experience cat caregiver for projects involving TNRM)
Contact us at Keepcats@hotmail.com if there are interested participants!
