Volunteer Profile Best Practices and FAQ

PROFILE PURPOSE & VALUE

Volunteer Profiles are an essential tool to connect clients and SCORE volunteers. Our Profiles tell a story about you as a volunteer and SCORE as an organization and connects us all as the largest network of volunteers serving entrepreneurs and the small business community in the nation.

Every volunteer has unique and valuable skills and experiences whether you are a Mentor, a Subject Matter Expert, a Workshop Presenter, or a Volunteer. A strong and complete profile helps to better serve our clients in many ways:

• Client Intake Coordinators can more easily match clients with the right Mentor.
• You get the most out of your SCORE experience by sharing your expertise and using the expertise of others.
• Mentors can more easily find resources and save time from having to research subjects that are outside of their expertise and comfort zone.
• SCORE Mentors can better serve all clients by bringing a wider breadth of skills and expertise to their local communities.

You matter and your experience matters. Please use the following Guidelines for Completing and Optimizing Your Profile to create or update your volunteer profile in Engage.

Thank you for your commitment to serving our clients and for all that you do for at SCORE!

Appreciatively,

Bridget Weston

CEO, SCORE
