Bloomington SCORE helps local businesses in Monroe and surrounding counties. Counselor/Mentor are persons who have retired or near retirement with years of experience in their organization who want to give back to the community.
This experience may be in a large corporation a small business an educational institution a hospital etc. Professional persons with a background in law medicine etc. are valuable contributors. Mentors give a few hours a month meeting clients and providing counseling.
Mentors always work in pairs and it is a very rewarding experience. New clients are also welcome.
These are persons from all walks of life who in some way need help solving problems in their own business. It may be a person who wants to start a new business. Often managerial issues are part of the advice they seek. Everything is confidential.
We have an orientation training for new members. There are no significant limitations on who may volunteer.
