NJ Friends & Family Census Outreach

We are launching the NJ Friends and Family Census Outreach Project. It鈥檚 very basic and built on the notion of a phone tree. And it鈥檚 easily done from the comfort of your home.

How does it work? 鈥 Ask at least five (5) friends, neighbors or family members to fill out their Census form. And then ask those who agree to call 5 of their friends and family members. And so on, and so on. The concept is in keeping with the idea that trusted voices will be the ones to convince others to fill out the Census. And who is more trusted than friends, neighbors or family members?

We鈥檝e provided everything you need for to get started making calls. This toolkit includes a basic call script with information about what needs to be done to easily fill out the Census; why it鈥檚 safe and why it鈥檚 so important to a community鈥檚 residents and families. It also includes an online feedback form, which can be filled out anonymously, to tell us about our progress.
