Script for contacting organizationsHello. My name is ___________. I am a student at Constitution High School, and we are learning about community service. I would like to volunteer at your organization and learn more about ___________ (autism, elder care, childcare, hunger, homelessness, etc). I can commit ______ hours (ten or more) after 3:30 pm or on weekends. Would I be able to come in for an interview or is there some other process for becoming a volunteer?
If they say YES, then try to schedule a day and time to begin. Make sure you write down the contact name, location, and date/time. Give them your name and phone# or email.
If they say NO, then say "OK. Do you know of another organization similar to yours that might need help?" Wait for answer, "Thank you for your time."
