SCORE fosters vibrant small businesses, helping them get off the ground, grow and achieve their goals through mentoring and education. In addition to workshops, lectures, online library, and events, our volunteers, retired senior executives and business owners from every aspect of the business world, provide, free of charge, ongoing, confidential, one-hour meetings on the 1st and 3rd Monday mornings & Thursday afternoons and 2nd and 4th Wednesdays mid-day of every month. Make appointments through northchicago.score.org, or by contacting Gary.Klow@scorevolunteer.org.
