A SCORE mentor advises individuals and small businesses how to reach their goals, by providing free business tips, templates and linking aspiring entrepreneurs and existing business owners to valuable resources.
As a mentor, you’ll help clients solve problems, make businesses more efficient, and assist with developing long-term business plans and strategies for growth. Teaching others how to better manage people or projects, along with illustrating ways to succeed in other aspects of business, often inspires you to expand your own professional growth, while helping communities thrive.
The ideal mentor is empathetic, flexible, and loves connecting people to the right resources. Mentors often have significant leadership experience within their field, excellent communication skills, and the ability to dedicate a few hours a week throughout the year.
Apply today if you have expertise in any business topic, including but not limited to marketing, budgeting and accounting, management, technology, strategy, websites, etc.
