Priority is given to outreach requests within the NLRPLS service area. Reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis, contingent on staff availability.
Requests must be submitted at least 4 weeks in advance to allow for scheduling, and a staff member will reach out promptly
to discuss your request. If you need a Spanish interpreter or have a preferred staff member, please indicate this in the “Additional Information” section on the request form. You can complete the outreach Request Form by clicking
