The strength of the relief nursery is found in the community! Please download our Volunteer Application to begin your volunteer relationship with A Family Place. Individuals under the age of 18 will also need to have a parent or guardian fill out the Minor Consent form. We find it works best to download and fill out these applications. Once one or both forms are completed please send to volunteeryamhill@lcsnw.org. 

Background checks are required for anyone working directly with children & families. This form will be sent digitally so please look for an email from “HireRight” to complete this process.
