Led by our Development Specialist Sandra Bahr, Volunteer Opportunities Coordination has a primary mission, to create new relationships and develop existing relationships with our community members.  Through relationship development we seek committee members, volunteers, and, in turn, financial supporters who are community minded and support our agency mission to prepare youth and families for healthy lives.  Our goal is to increase NYFS's visibility while giving our neighbors an opportunity to exercise their citizenship by serving their community.

Secondarily, we seek to promote NYFS events and activities and publicly celebrate accomplishments while fostering an increased sense of community among our NYFS stakeholders.

If you would like to join us, please call Sandra at 651-379-3422 or email sandra@nyfs.org.

We offer counseling and support to youth, families and the community as well as health education and support services to youth.

We provide educational services, stimulate community understanding of the needs of youth and families as well as link youth and families with senior citizens and other community resources.

From each of our employees, we expect results which consistently meet the high Northwest Youth & Family Services standard of excellence. We expect our employees to be flexible in accepting work assignments important to the agency's mission. Finally, we expect their commitment to providing quality customer service within the communities we serve.
