Volunteer Support

What do volunteers do?

All volunteers will receive a lists of less frequent voters or lists of other volunteers. Volunteers will use the NAACP scripts to door knock and call potential voters.

Please note: All volunteer and volunteer support roles have been assigned. If you have not received a text message indicating you are a volunteer for this program, please join one of our bi-weekly activations to make calls to voters.

Scripts

These scripts will help you have conversations with volunteers until Election Day.

Best Practices for Volunteers

Remember your "why".
Always acknowledge the person you are calling is also an NAACP volunteer.
Start the conversation off with a check-in. Don't jump straight into "Are you planning to vote?".
Always identify yourself as a volunteer with the NAACP.
Smile while you dial.
If you don't know the answer, be truthful and say you will get an answer and follow up.
The best times to call are Monday-Friday from 6 pm - 9 pm, and Saturday & Sunday from 10 am - 1 pm.
