In connection with National Volunteer Month, April, SCORE Lancaster-Lebanon is recognizing the impact of its volunteers, who donate their time and expertise to help entrepreneurs start and grow small businesses and to guide them in achieving new levels of success and ultimately creating jobs and strengthening the local economy.

In fiscal year 2024, SCORE Lancaster-Lebanon volunteers helped 887 entrepreneurs, providing them with a total of 2,796 mentoring sessions.

SCORE data shows that entrepreneurs who receive three or more hours of mentoring report higher revenues and increased business growth. In addition, SCORE Lancaster-Lebanon offers a wealth of resources to guide entrepreneurs in every phase of their small business journey.

National Volunteer Month recognizes the contributions of volunteers and encourages more people to get involved in their communities.
