The coronavirus pandemic had an adverse effect on many Black entrepreneurs but a program designed to mentor small business firms with the help of a seasoned business executive has helped some survive and even thrive.
SCORE, the nation’s largest network of volunteer, expert business mentors targeting small businesses, uses its 501(c)(3) nonprofit status to partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration to aid and advise firms at no cost.
In operation since 1964, SCORE offers its clients mentoring, webinars and courses, a library of online resources and local events. Dr. Kiki Ramsey, the founder and CEO of Positive Psychology Coaching & Diversity Institute of Silver Spring, Md., said SCORE has made a difference for her during the pandemic.
