Dear friends and supporters, We are so thrilled to announce the pre-sale campaign for our new Zine, DIY Doula: Self-Care Before, During, & After Your Abortion .

Volunteer with Us! Now Accepting Applications for Spring 2017

We are recruiting volunteer full-spectrum doulas to become part of the Doula Project! People who are passionate, caring, and committed are encouraged to apply. Any experience in doula work, reproductive health, rights and justice work, abortion counseling, health service, or personal experiences can be helpful, but isn’t necessary. Many of our best doulas have had no professional experience, but a dedicated attitude and a desire to learn more and be a part of the Doula Project.

People with flexible/free weekdays are ideal. We are accepting applications until midnight on February 13, 2017. The mandatory training for new volunteers will be on April 21 (5:30-9 pm), April 22 (9-5 pm), and April 23 (9-5 pm). Applicat
