Scottish Association of Young Farmers Clubs (SAYFC) on Monday 13th<\/sup> April will open their \u2018SAYFC Connect\u2019 platform where supporters including past members can access club profiles, event calendar, job vacancies and many more features!<\/p>\n The launch seeks supporters to make an initial connection with, or re-engage with clubs, within a specific area of the country! The association aim to increase their contacts and with the platform\u2019s introduction, can ensure that club committees and office bearers are gaining some continual connections and have a wider audience for attracting to club activities.<\/p>\n The networking platform will be accessible on desktop or via the downloadable Android or Apple mobile app. It\u2019s never been easier to access opportunities and to keep connected; from home, work, or whilst using public transport, etc.<\/p>\n SAYFC encourage those interested in staying on top of all things \u2018Young Farmers\u2019, and those who perhaps wish to help lead young people in Rural Scotland with opportunities to develop personally and professionally \u2013 to register next week!<\/p>\n The registration process will be customised with interest sections, to easily highlight to the association which category supporters are willing to offer help in; to steward, train and advise \u2013 or to judge in.<\/p>\n CEO Penny Montgomerie has mentioned:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWith a drop in participation for many SAYFC competitions, support for our individual clubs has never been more imperative. National SAYFC\u2019s Vice Chairman, Gemma Bruce followed up, highlighting:<\/strong> <\/p>\n There will be a channel within \u2018SAYFC Connect\u2019 for external organisations to promote jobs vacancies, external events \u2013 and to recruit volunteers! This is a very exciting time for all at SAYFC, bridging the gap between sector organisations and past members with the grassroots Young Farmers of the country!<\/p>\n Stay engaged, stay connected!<\/p>\n
\nWithin our strategic planning, the association plan to prioritise having a well-managed hold on member\u2019s development and engagement. Therefore it\u2019s vital, through this platform that we increase engagement for our alumni programme and improve support for our members\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe are really excited to be launching our brand new \u2018SAYFC Connect\u2019 which will be an excellent way of showcasing all things young farmers, from reminiscing with old friends to hearing about upcoming events \u2013 and of course bringing past and present members together!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
