Free help · Open to everyone, no membership

A great deal of expert help already exists near you, and it is free.

Business mentoring, career services, tax preparation, healthcare and classes — funded and running today, in every state. Most people never find out. This page is how you find it.

The directory

Twelve places worth knowing about.

None of these charge, none is ours, and none requires a membership. We point you to them because a member who gets free expert help from someone else is still a member we helped.

Two things to hold on to

Free means free.

None of the services on this page charges you anything. If someone claiming to represent one of them asks you for a fee, they are not who they say they are. Go directly to the official website listed, never through a link someone sends you.

None of them requires immigration status for the services listed here, and we do not collect it either. If any programme asks you something you are not comfortable answering, you may stop at any time — and please tell us, so we can check whether it still belongs on this page.

Why this page exists

We would rather send you somewhere good than build something worse.

Members only

What a membership adds to this page

  • Named contacts at the chapters and centres we partner with, including who speaks which language
  • A warm introduction from us, rather than a cold form on a website
  • An appointment packet, so your first meeting is not spent gathering paperwork
  • Follow-up — the drop-off is almost always between the referral and the appointment

What we are doing about it

Building real partnerships

  • Introducing these organisations to our chartered associations directly
  • Arranging workshops held at association meetings, in the language of the room
  • Helping members prepare before a first appointment, so it is not wasted
  • Following up afterwards, because the drop-off is between the referral and the appointment
Where our coaching fits

The gap these programmes leave

A free business advisor will help you write a plan. They will not sit with you for the six months it takes to act on it, and they usually do not know what it is like to arrive somewhere and start again.

That is the space our volunteer coaches fill — continuity, and someone who has been where you are. Use both. See how coaching works →
