Overview:
New Horizons is seeking enthusiastic and professional volunteers to assist with follow-up calls to local businesses that recently received sponsorship and donation request letters for our upcoming Galentine's Day Brunch Fundraiser. This event raises vital funds to support our life-saving services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
Role Description:
Volunteers will contact area businesses who have not yet responded to our sponsorship letters. Each business was asked to consider supporting the event through either:
- A monetary sponsorship (which goes directly toward supporting survivors) or
- An in-kind donation (item or gift certificates used in our raffles and auctions to raise additional funds).
Volunteers will help ensure that all 600+ businesses who received letters have been personally followed up with to increase community participation and event success.
Responsibilities:
- Make polite, professional follow-up calls to local businesses using a provided call list and script.
- Track responses, commitments, or declined offers.
- Provide basic event and sponsorship information as needed.
- Report updates or questions from businesses to New Horizons staff.
Qualifications:
- Friendly, professional phone manner.
- Reliable and organized with attention to detail.
- Comfortable speaking with local business representatives.
- Ability to represent New Horizons positively.
Time Commitment:
- Flexible scheduling; calls can be made during regular business hours (Monday - Friday).
- Volunteers are encouraged to commit 2-4 hours per week until follow up is complete.
Location:
This volunteer opportunity can be completed remotely - volunteers do not need to come to the New Horizons office.
Why Volunteer:
Your time and voice make a direct impact on our ability to raise crucial funds for survivors in our community. Every call helps turn awareness into action and builds stronger partnerships that sustain our mission.
