RELATIONAL ORGANIZING
Turn your supporters into your best organizers
Give every volunteer a personal outreach campaign that runs from their own phone contacts. Every conversation they have is tracked, every survey response feeds back to you, and every matched contact is someone who already knows the person calling.

THE PROBLEM
Cold outreach misses the contacts who matter most
Your most persuadable contacts aren’t on a public list. They’re in the phones of the people who already support you. Cold calls from strangers reach them. A text from someone they know moves them. Staff spend hours rebuilding lists between sends.
Phone banks and text campaigns reach contacts who don't know the caller. This could keep contact and persuasion rates can stay low.
Every volunteer has dozens of contacts who would respond if asked by someone they trust. That reach never materializes.
A contact ignoring cold calls from campaign numbers will pick up a friend's call. The relationship is the difference.
THE SOLUTION
Most outreach reaches strangers. Relational organizing reaches people who already trust your volunteers
The difference shows up in the results.

HOW IT WORKS
From a volunteer’s phone to your campaign dashboard in one flow
A volunteer opens the app, their contacts are matched to your campaign list, and they start reaching out to people they already know. Every conversation, survey response, and outcome feeds back to you in real time, without anyone sending a spreadsheet.

TESTIMONIALS
Hear from organizations winning with unified outreach
We couldn't have hit our goals without CallHub. Even more, CallHub could handle our small program needs across all channels — from texting 5 people to calling 5 million, we could trust CallHub.
"CallHub has become my go-to platform for affordable phone canvassing campaigns, voice broadcasts and text message blasts. In particular, text message blasts are the single most useful tool for volunteer mobilization that I have used in recent years."
"Cost is one. We also really liked the user friendliness of CallHub on the agent side. We had consistent feedback from all kinds of volunteers of all ages and all abilities across the country that it was just really easy to use."

FAQs
What is relational organizing?
Relational organizing is a form of grassroots outreach where volunteers reach people in their own personal networks on behalf of a campaign. Unlike cold outreach where strangers call strangers, relational organizing uses existing relationships. A supporter reaches a friend, a co-worker, or a family member who already trusts them, which produces fundamentally higher engagement than impersonal outreach.
How does relational organizing work in CallHub?
The campaign manager sets up a campaign with a contact list, scripts, and surveys. Volunteers join via the CallHub mobile app, which matches their phone contacts against the campaign list. Matched contacts are people the volunteer already knows who appear on the campaign list. The volunteer reaches out by call, text, or share, collects survey responses, and the campaign manager tracks all progress in real time from the overview dashboard.
What outreach methods can volunteers use?
Volunteers can reach their matched contacts by phone call, text message, or share through their device’s native sharing options. The campaign manager sets a default outreach method when setting up the campaign, but volunteers can switch to whichever method feels most natural for each individual contact.
How does relational organizing connect to the rest of CallHub?
Relational organizing runs inside the same platform as your call center, mass texting, P2P texting, and voice broadcasting campaigns. Survey responses and contact outcomes from volunteer outreach feed into the same campaign dashboard as your professional outreach channels, so you see the full picture in one place.
Does it work for organizations that aren't political campaigns?
Yes. Relational organizing works for any organization that has supporters, members, or volunteers who have personal relationships with the people the organization is trying to reach. Unions use it to mobilize members through stewards. Nonprofits use it to expand their donor base through existing supporters. Advocacy organizations use it to build grassroots coalitions through peer outreach.
