SCORE is a nation-wide, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization which began in 1964. Our vision is that every person has the support necessary to thrive as a small business owner.   Our volunteer mentors help clients start, grow or successfully exit a business. Small business owners who receive three or more hours of mentoring report higher revenues and increased growth. Our core values provide the most ethical, unified approach to achieving our goals in a way that contributes to our greater cause.
