    Description

    Virtual Business Mentor In Lorain County: Share your knowledge with a small business owner!

    Join the 2024 SCORE Ohio District Chapter of the Year! We need experienced business professionals with skills in management, finance, marketing, sales, accounting, hospitality, banking, commercial real estate and all other business disciplines. Mentor virtually or in person. You must be a US citizen or hold a US permanent resident card.

    A SCORE small business mentor is an adviser who helps individuals and small businesses reach their goals. Mentors provide free business advice and education to aspiring entrepreneurs and existing business owners. Mentor clients at the Lorain Port Authority Building, Lorain County Community College (Desich Entrepreneurship Innovation Center), virtually, by phone and email, or at a mutually convenient location.

    As a mentor, you’ll help clients solve problems, make businesses more efficient, and assist with developing long-term business plans. Additionally, you may discover new sources of insight and knowledge to help your own business and leadership style. Teaching others how to manage people or projects, along with illustrating ways to succeed in other aspects of business, could inspire you to continue with your own professional growth-all of this while helping your local community.

    The ideal mentor is empathetic, flexible, and loves connecting people to the right resources. Mentors often have significant experience within their field, excellent communication skills, and the ability to dedicate a few hours a week. Opportunities are virtual or at the Lorain Port Authority Building, Lorain County Community College - or meet your clients at a convenient location for both of you.

    Apply today if you have expertise in any business topic, including but not limited to marketing, finance and accounting, management, technology, strategy, websites, social media, etc.

    SCORE is a nonprofit resource partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration that helps aspiring and existing entrepreneurs succeed. Every year, our volunteers help thousands of entrepreneurs achieve their dreams of starting small businesses and achieving new levels of success. Volunteering is a way for you to give back, network with business experts, and share your knowledge. Join SCORE today to make a meaningful difference in your local economy.
