SCORE New York City Awarded 2024 Northeast Region Chapter of the Year!

We are thrilled to announce that SCORE New York City was named the 2024 Regional Chapter of the Year!

We are honored to receive this recognition from the SCORE organization for the outstanding involvement, impact and support of the local small business in the Greater NYC area.

This award shows that our mentors and volunteers are more dedicated than ever to helping SCORE clients succeed, and we look forward to continuing to serve our local community.

Women's Small Business Month celebrates the incredible impact of women-owned businesses on our economy. It shines a light on the accomplishments and challenges faced by women entrepreneurs while encouraging support and investment in their growth. Organizations like SCORE play an essential role by providing resources, mentorship, and guidance to help women-owned businesses succeed. Check out the Women's Entrepreneurs Hub for resources and webinars created especially for women in business.

SCORE has the support you need to thrive, just like Teresa Williams, owner of Therayology. “SCORE was instrumental in my journey. With my mentor's guidance, I navigated the complexities of growing my business, from developing a strategic marketing plan to managing finances. The mentorship provided not only expertise but also the confidence to overcome challenges and achieve my vision.”

SCORE for All

We believe that anyone can start and manage a successful small business. We also know that the road is harder for some than for others. Diverse backgrounds, different voices and unique needs may call for specialized resources and mentoring approaches. SCORE is listening, recognizes these diverse needs, and provides personalized support in a wholly-inclusive platform called SCORE for All.
