                         objects result from the shocks of outflows from young stellar 
                         objects with the surrounding interstellar medium of our Galaxy. 
                         The mechanism believed to be responsible for the generation of 
                         jets (magneto-centrifugal acceleration) involves the presence of a 
                         magnetic field. It can be remnant from the interstellar magnetic 
                         field in the parent molecular cloud from which the protostellar 
                         object has been formed. Moreover, the interstellar magnetic field 
                         may influence the outflow propagation. We present an optical 
                         polarimetric study for the search of correlations between the 
                         interstellar magnetic field and the characteristics of Herbig-Haro 
                         objects and its central sources. Our sample is composed of 28 
                         fields having one or more Herbig- Haro objects. We have found that 
                         there is an alignment between the jet and the interstellar 
                         magnetic field for Class 0 and Class I objects, but not for Class 
                         II and Class III objects. The most extended jets in our sample 
                         tend to be perpendicular to the magnetic field. The average 
                         dispersion of the magnetic field in the studied regions is larger 
                         for older objects, showing that the star formation process can 
                         transfer momentum to the medium. From a point of view of the mass 
                         of the central source, larger magnetic field dispersions are found 
                         in regions containing high mass objects. We suggest that the 
                         observed dispersion is a characteristic of the region prior to 
                         star formation, playing a role on the collapse of this kind of 
                         object. The mean interstellar polarization grows with extinction 
                         in low mass star forming regions, but decreases in the high mass 
                         ones. It could be explained by a smaller polarizing efficiency in 
                         these regions.",
