What is sCoRe?

sCoRe Program: Our Purpose, Approach, and Vision

Why: Our Core Belief

At sCoRe, we believe in the power of global collaboration to drive meaningful change. Our core mission is to bridge cultural gaps, foster mutual understanding, and empower local entrepreneurs in underserved communities. We envision a world where students and entrepreneurs work together across borders to create sustainable growth, enhancing both local economies and global perspectives.

How: Our Unique Approach

We achieve this by immersing university students in real-world entrepreneurial environments within rural Costa Rica. Through hands-on collaboration with local entrepreneurs, students contribute their expertise—whether in data science, web design, or other fields—while learning from the rich cultural context of the region. This exchange is rooted in respect, mutual learning, and a shared commitment to sustainability and social impact.
