Communities of Practice (CoPs) are volunteer-led, HQ-supported, peer-to-peer groups focusing on a particular area of expertise. CoPs meet on a regular basis to share trends and insights around their expertise so as to ensure we are providing the latest knowledge to SCORE clients. Occasionally, a CoP may introduce a new tool or process to benefit the organization nationally. CoPs are open to all volunteers who have an interest or proficiency in the particular area. CoPs are ongoing year-round, and volunteers can join at any time through the contact email listed next to each group below.
Goal: Lifelong learning, peer-to-peer exchange to improve the collective knowledge within our volunteer community
Scope: Volunteer training, resource development, and knowledge sharing
Outputs/Deliverables: Volunteer training (internal-facing webinars, community forums, etc.) and potentially client-facing resources and training (based on approval from HQ)
Audience: Primarily volunteers
