Given our commitment to base-building, it’s critical that we figure out how to connect with workers and invite them into our organizations! In this section, we share best practices for doing outreach to domestic workers and then following up with them to make sure that they feel welcomed and integrated into our organizations. The section includes tips for mapping out where to find workers, training an outreach team, working outreach and follow-up into your organization’s overall workplan, and more!
