Business Advisor: Mentor small business owners and entrepreneurs. Help our local business community

Save to Favorites

A North Coast SCORE mentor / advisor is a volunteer consultant who helps individuals and small businesses reach their goals. Mentors provide free business advice and education to aspiring entrepreneurs and existing business owners in Northern California's coastal counties.

As a mentor, you’ll help clients solve problems, make businesses more efficient, assist with developing long-term business plans, and educate business owners in developing and using financial information to guide their decisions.

Additionally, you may discover new sources of insight and knowledge to help your own business and leadership style. Teaching others how to manage people or projects, along with illustrating ways to succeed in other aspects of business, could inspire you to continue with your own professional growth-all of this while helping your local community's financial stability.

The ideal mentor is empathetic, flexible, and loves connecting people to the right resources. Mentors often have significant experience within their field, excellent communication skills, and the ability to dedicate a few hours a week.
