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.
