Every day the dreams of entrepreneurs are chattered because they lack the knowledge needed to combat the reality of the business environment. It is the job of a SCOREDSM Mentor to help prevent potential pitfalls and counsel these dreamers into the world of 'satisfaction' that comes with owning a small business. The local Des Moines Chapter of SCORE is actively seeking volunteers to lend their expertise with local, aspiring small business owners in the Des Moines metro area.

What is SCORE?
SCORE, “Counselors to America’s Small Business,” is a nonprofit association that provides free small business advice, mentoring, and training to America’s small-business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs regardless of race, age, gender, or country of origin.
