The Susquehanna SCORE Chapter provides free and confidential one-on-one business counseling. We also conduct workshops for both start-up entrepreneurs and seasoned small business owners.
The greater Susquehanna region has a long history of entrepreneurship and applied creativity, and Susquehanna SCORE takes that heritage seriously. The Susquehanna, Pennsylvania Chapter of SCORE is part of a national nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth, and success of the nation’s small businesses. SCORE volunteers share their expertise and serve as sounding boards “For the life of your business.
Susquehanna SCORE has provided free and confidential business mentoring since 1979, tailored to meet the needs of emerging and growing businesses and small business owners' personal objectives. Our clients are in Dauphin, Cumberland, Perry, York, and Adams counties and schedule more than 100 mentoring sessions with us each month. More than half of them return to SCORE multiple times as their businesses launch and they reach new milestones of growth and development. We treasure those long-lasting relationships and celebrate when our clients are kind enough to cite their SCORE mentoring as a significant factor in their new levels of success.
In addition to our mentoring, Susquehanna SCORE also offers low- or no-cost workshops for both new and existing entrepreneurs in conjunction with a number of community partners, including:
