Patient Advocacy Mentorship

Globally, most colorectal cancer patients have no patient advocacy organization to represent them and to promote comprehensive access to CRC screening, diagnosis, treatment, and care. The GCCA Mentorship Program is designed to assist both individuals and groups aiming to address gaps in CRC patient advocacy.

Our GCCA leadership is enriched with years of collective experience in CRC advocacy. Together with our seasoned GCCA member organizations, we ensure that our mentees receive tailored guidance, empowering them to clearly define and reach their aspirations. Our emphasis on personalized assistance guarantees a profound difference.

GCCA has developed a set of questions to help guide mentors and mentees throughout the mentorship process. This questionnaire can also assist advocates and organizations in assessing their community’s needs and resources for colorectal cancer care, and can be used to evaluate their own organization’s advocacy goals and strategies.
