The city of Sandy Springs has announced a partnership with a national non-profit that will provide free mentorships and resources to established business owners and those aspiring to become one.

The partnership with the North Metro Atlanta chapter of SCORE “is a natural fit for the entrepreneurial spirit of Sandy Springs businesses,” said Andrea Worthy, the city’s economic development director. “We look forward to working with SCORE to mentor, train and educate new and existing businesses to expand within the city of Sandy Springs.”

SCORE mentors will hold weekly one-on-one mentoring sessions at the Sandy Springs Public Library, 395 Mount Vernon Highway, city officials said. The North Metro chapter also will host businesses at future workshops. Information, and to schedule a meeting with a mentor: https://northmetroatlanta.score.org
