Volunteers are needed to join SCORE, Counselors to America’s Small Business.

SCORE’s 10,500 volunteers give free, confidential advice to help hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs each year. SCORE business coaches — men and women, working and retired — counsel small business owners from nearly 400 offices nationwide.

Skagit Valley College Business and Community Development hosts the SCORE office in the Business Resource Center which is located in downtown Mount Vernon at 204 W. Montgomery. They are looking for additional retired executives who would be willing to donate their time to help others build their business.

SCORE volunteers enjoy a variety of rewards: Enjoy the satisfaction of contributing to the success of others; gain community recognition and respect as a mentor; provide leadership in the community; grow professionally and personally; participate in lifelong learning; make new friends.
