Working and retired executives and business owners donate their time and expertise as volunteer business counselors and provide confidential counseling and mentoring free of charge.

By working with SCORE volunteers, businesses can access experienced professionals from Fortune 500 companies such as General Electric, Coca-Cola and Hewlett-Packard.
