Do you have a background in business or marketing or have specific subject matter expertise? If so, we could use your help. In partnership with United Way RSVP and the Great Falls Area Chamber of Commerce, SCORE Great Falls is looking to revitalize the local chapter.
SCORE, the nation’s largest network of volunteer, expert business mentors, is dedicated to helping small businesses or nonprofits get off the ground, grow, and achieve their goals. Since 1964, they have provided education and mentorship to more than 11 million entrepreneurs across the United States.
SCORE is a nonprofit organization and a partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration. You can learn more about SCORE at www.score.org.
Locally, SCORE has been active for several years; however, the Chamber wants to revitalize it by bringing on interested volunteer mentors, administrative help, or subject matter experts.
Several volunteer positions are available to include administrative, and you set your volunteer time. To be a SCORE mentor, you need to join SCORE, take a short ethics training, and commit to mentoring your mentee. If you are a subject matter expert (marketing, legal, etc.), there are also opportunities for you to put on workshops for up-and-coming business owners or nonprofits. The total time commitment is about 3-5 hours a month and can be done remotely or in person.
If this exciting new volunteer opportunity sounds appealing to you, contact Lynette at lynette@uwccmt.org or 727-3400, ext. 400.
