A suggested script — adapt it to your situation:
Hi, I'm calling to ask about reentry support programs.
My name is [your name], and I'm interested in the Life Directions - Reentry and Workforce Development program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Open to justice-involved individuals, Oakland County?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Mon-Fri 9am-5pm. Is that still accurate?
And just to confirm — is this service free of charge?
Thank you so much for your help.
Always introduce yourself and ask to speak with someone who can help with your specific need.
