Introduction
Volunteer profiles are an important tool to help clients connect with mentors for help with their business. All volunteer profiles have the option of being searchable on www.score.org to not only better serve our clients, but also to increase your ability to identify Subject Matter Experts. To make your profile viewable on score.org, a profile:
- Must have a photo associated with the account.
- Must select a minimum of 1 and maximum of 6 areas of expertise and 6 industries.
- Must provide a career summary (“How I Can Help You” information for clients).
- Must select or update the languages section of your profile.
Please review SCORE’s Volunteer Profile Best Practices to help optimize your profile for the client mentor search.
