Small businesses are the character of our communities. The bakery that makes your favorite cupcakes, the store that sells those one-of-a-kind-shirts and hats you love, your barbershop, comic book shop, coffee shop — anywhere you shop. That list goes on and on. Small businesses make your neighborhood, town, or city unique, but they’re also on the decline across America. And now, more than ever, they need our support.

With PCVs has new series of webinar style offerings entitled "Ask Me Anything (AMA): Expert Office Hours", with just one hour of your time, you can provide that support. It's the best type of volunteering: it's 100% remote, leverages the skills you have, and has a big impact for small businesses and the communities they serve.

We'd love to invite you to host an AMA session with us and share your experience and expertise with our community of small business owners! We'd just need a few things from you in order to get started:
- A brief bio we can use when inviting entrepreneurs (who you are, what you do, why you joined PCV, etc.)
- A list of what categories of questions you can answer / topics you can speak to
- A few dates / times you're available (please allow two weeks notice, which will give us enough time to spread the word.)
