Q) Does it cost me anything to work with OnPoint@Home?
A) OnPoint@Home has gone through extensive effort and made a significant investment to generate valuable contact lists and to secure the most efficient and effective technology products in the market. We are happy to make these available to each of our Advocacy Coordinators if they choose, however we require a fee of $50 in consideration of these costs if an Advocacy Coordinator does not complete their first project under the agreed upon terms. Advocacy Coordinators, who use OnPoint@Home's cutting-edge technology, will be able to work from home without having to pay long-distance charges. Please note that monthly fees and charges for your Internet connection are your responsibility.
