As someone who’s trained a fair number of volunteers, I know how critical it is to set your volunteer team up for success.
Volunteers need to be armed with more than just dedication and I’ve seen many campaigns squander their volunteers’ drive and passion due to lack of preparation.
We built Volunteer Like You Mean It to fix that.
It’s a five-course learning plan covering everything a volunteer needs, from picking the right campaign to working the doors, the phones, and the texts. It’s the formula to build volunteers’ confidence:
- Finding a Campaign to Volunteer For: Match your skills and schedule to the right opportunity.
- Understanding the Why of Campaign Volunteering: Get the strategy behind why volunteering wins elections.
- How to Talk to Voters 101: Learn the conversations that actually move people.
- Canvassing for Volunteers: Read a walk list and knock doors with confidence.
- Phone Banking for Volunteers: Scripts and tips so you’re never caught off guard on a call.
If you’re training a team of your own to take your campaign over the finish line, this is the playbook.
Warmly,
