Who are SCORE Volunteers?

SCORE volunteers are retired and working business managers and owners who have enjoyed business success and who want to help entrepreneurs succeed. They offer the benefit of their skills, knowledge and experience. Some have worked for major corporations. Others have owned and operated their own small businesses. We believe this mix of counselors and skills offers entrepreneurs the best of both worlds.

SCORE is made up of volunteers from all backgrounds coming together as a team to complete a common goal: to help small businesses succeed.

The Williamsburg Chapter is always interested in finding new volunteers who have a strong business background and a desire to share their knowledge with others in our community. We also seek individuals who would like to help "behind the scenes" by providing administrative clerical assistance, marketing and technical support.

Nationwide 11,000 men and women, retired and working, donate their time and talent to assist America's entrepreneurs. At our 389 SCORE offices, volunteers provide confidential one-on-one and team business counseling and low-cost entrepreneurial training workshops and seminar. In addition, many volunteers are "cyber counselors", providing email counseling directly from their homes or offices.

As a SCORE volunteer, you will

• Be a leader in the effort to provide real-world assistance to small businesses.
• Gain fulfillment by sharing your business experience and expertise with a new generation of entrepreneurs.
• Build relationships with local business leaders to provide economic growth and employment opportunities in the Greater Williamsburg area.
• Connect with entrepreneurs though counseling, or share your knowledge at SCORE�s entrepreneurial training workshops.
• Participate in business networking events to market SCORE and to build relationships with small business owners.
