SCORE ,
an SBA Resource Partner, has a mission to help clients establish new businesses or grow existing small businesses. Demand for our services continues to grow each year, and now the COVID pandemic has stimulated even more men & women across Georgia to consider
starting their own businesses. Since many of them are contacting SCORE for guidance and assistance, our challenge is to ensure that we have the volunteer mentors available to meet the needs of all these clients.
Across Georgia, SCORE is looking for individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences to serve in a variety of volunteer roles — from knowledgeable business mentors to local community advocates.
Perhaps you would be interested in becoming a volunteer with SCORE and provide your experience & expertise to some of these would-be or budding entrepreneurs? But you are probably wondering what’s it like to be a SCORE volunteer? Rather than ask you to read
descriptions of what it is like to volunteer with SCORE, why don’t you look at this short video and hear from actual members of SCORE as they talk about their experiences, and how rewarding they have been.
