    Answer Phones for OPB! December TV Membership Drive

    About the Project

    If you’re friendly and comfortable talking on the phone, we’d love to have you join OPB’s Volunteer Phone Team for our December TV Membership Drive!

    During the December drive, OPB TV features special programming inviting viewers to become OPB members. Volunteers play a key role by answering inbound calls and assisting community members who want to make contributions—helping OPB meet its fundraising goals and strengthening our connection with our audience.

    Shifts

    Shifts are available November 30 - December 6. All shifts take place in the evenings and are 3 hours long.

    What You’ll Do

    • Answer incoming calls during OPB’s December TV Membership Drive
    • Assist callers with making contributions
    • Provide a warm, welcoming experience for OPB supporters

    What to Expect

    • This is a behind-the-scenes volunteer role—volunteers do not appear on camera
    • Calls are answered during pre-recorded fundraising programs
    • The December TV Drive is part of OPB’s quarterly membership drives

    Training

    All volunteers serving during the December drive are required to complete a short online training prior to their first shift so you feel prepared and confident. OPB staff will be in the room to answer any questions you have during your shift.

    Interested in Helping?

    Please express interest below or email jhawkins@opb.org for more information and to sign up. We’ll share details as phone bank shifts for the December TV Drive become available.

    We hope to see you at the December drive—and thank you for supporting OPB!
