Community groups and grassroots organisations are being encouraged to take a leading role in the campaign for an Indigenous voice.
Supporters of the voice will soon hold a "week of action" to recruit everyday Australians as volunteers ahead of a referendum later this year.
Australians will be asked to vote on whether to amend the constitution to establish an Indigenous advisory body to parliament.
Academic and lawyer Megan Davis, who co-chairs the Uluru Dialogue, says there will be no single "yes" campaign.
Instead, a variety of local groups will help generate support across the country.
Among them will be the Victoria Women's Trust, which spearheaded Cathy McGowan's campaign for the federal seat of Indi in 2013, through a technique known as "kitchen table conversations".
Professor Davis said grassroots groups had a fundamental role to play "because that's who the Australian people are".
"The Uluru statement is a conversation between Australians and not one that should become victim to politicians and their ideological set-pieces," she told AAP on Tuesday.
"For over a decade, politicians and bureaucrats have demonstrated they can't close the gap ... Uluru is a First Nations solution that can only be realised with other Aussies backing it."
The week will include community events such as barbecues and doorknocking drives, with a particular focus on explaining the process that has led to the referendum, including years of debate and dialogue within Indigenous communities.
It coincides with a push from "no" campaigners, Warren Mundine and Jacinta Price, to convince the National Party in Western Australia to withdraw support for an Indigenous voice.
Ahead of the referendum, Prof Davies also commented on the campaign to change the date of Australia Day, saying the annual debate was becoming increasingly toxic.
She said changing the date from January 26 would not achieve meaningful outcomes and argued creating an Indigenous voice was the most pressing action the nation could take.
