Veteran

Joseph Garcia Killeen , TX

Hello, my wife and I have opened a small business reselling crafting vinyl and supplies. I will be transitioning out of active duty Army in the next couple years and I would love to find us a mentor.

Joseph - Join SCORE and request a local mentor. Score.org is connected to the US SBA. All mentoring and most services are free. Your unlimited use is encouraged.

I'm a mentor with the Silicon Valley Score Chapter (svscore.org) - We have over 60 very experienced, "happy to help" volunteer mentors.

Joseph,
Many Chamber of Commerce offices have retired execs who assist start up businesses. If your local office is too small check with a larger city and inquire about the SCORE program.

Hi Joseph,

Thank you for your service and for your question!

If you haven't already, I'd suggest applying for an ACP Mentor here: https://www.acp-usa.org/mentoring-program/veteran-application. While you're active duty, your wife is also eligible for a mentor as well and can apply here https://www.acp-usa.org/spouseapp.

Let me know if you have any questions about the program!

Best,
Yoni
