Becoming a Volunteer

Becoming a SCORE Volunteer requires only as much time as you care to give. We ask you to attend our monthly meeting, which is held on the second Wednesday of each month in Essex Junction. We meet at 9:30am and generally are finished no later then 11:00am.

As a Volunteer, your expertise in your field is also valuable to the Chapter and we ask you to contribute in this manner also. We will offer you cases which you may choose to accept or reject. Should you incur any expenses we will reimburse you. I invite you to become a volunteer.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me, and I welcome to the opportunity to speak to you further.

The very best to you always and in all ways,

Jerry Johnson
SCORE 284 Chair

Each year, SCORE counselors touch thousands of lives, generously sharing their knowledge and experience so that entrepreneurs can realize their dreams of business success. If you want to share your business expertise and give back to your community, consider volunteering with SCORE 284.

Nationwide 10,500 men and women, retired and working, donate their time and talent to assist America’s entrepreneurs. At our office, volunteers provide confidential one-to-one and team business counseling and low-cost entrepreneurial training workshops and seminars. In addition, many counselors are virtual volunteers, providing email counseling directly from their homes or offices.

Counselors come from a variety of occupations and backgrounds. Many volunteer counselors owned small businesses for years; others have worked for major firms such as 3M, IBM, General Electric, and Procter & Gamble. Counselors share a belief that small business owners are more likely to succeed if they have a business coach or mentor to guide them.
