More Than 30,000 Small Businesses Started in 2023 with Help from SCORE Volunteers

During National Volunteer Month, SCORE is celebrating its 10,000+ volunteers nationwide and their collective impact supporting small business success through mentoring, training and education. Entrepreneurs who receive three or more hours of mentoring report higher revenues and increased business growth.

Tonyia Smith, SCORE client and owner of Silver Slice Bakery in Seattle, describes how she has benefitted from working with SCORE: “The experience and knowledge that the mentors have is not found in any books I read thus far. It feels good to know that you are not alone and you’ll get the tools, insight, inspiration, knowledge, motivation and understanding to continue on your entrepreneurial journey.” READ MORE >
