SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to helping small businesses get off the ground, grow and achieve their goals through education and mentorship. They have been doing this for over fifty years.

Because their work is supported by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), and thanks to our network of 10,000 volunteers, they are able to deliver our services at no charge or at very low cost.

We can provide:

  • Volunteer MENTORS who share their expertise across 62 industries
  • Free, confidential business MENTORING in person, via email or by video
  • Free business TOOLS, templates and tips here online
  • Inexpensive or free business WORKSHOPS (locally) and webinars (online 24/7)

Our 300 chapters hold events and workshops locally across the U.S. and its territories, and match up entrepreneurs with local, volunteer mentors.

SCORE is headquartered in Herndon, VA and the local Chapter 112 is located in Room 1163 WCBA Bldg., Youngstown State University.
