District Shared Services

Across the country, SCORE Chapters are beginning to collaborate more regularly across their District following the One SCORE model. Sharing resources across a district allows SCORE to utilize resources more effectively, and provide more clients with a broader base of support. It also aims to reduce the burden on volunteers when providing client services. Plus increasing networking opportunities for volunteers across SCORE with one another!

The following are functional areas that a district may consider when planning shared resources and services:

• Volunteer Recruiting and Engagement at Chapter Level
