Find a Doula

Find a Doula

The Doula Project works across the spectrum of choice to provide free doula care on a case-by-case basis to people who cannot otherwise afford it. While we would love to serve all of the pregnant people in our community, due to our limited capacity we do ask that you meet these few requirements before filling out the application below:
  • Live in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, or Southern Westchester.
  • Make less than $30,000 a year, including combined partner income.
  • Commit to having your doula attend the majority of your labor and birth. Most NYC hospitals have a limit of 2 people in the room during labor so if you believe you will exceed this limit with a doula, we may not be the best match for you.
  • Commit to calling your doula when you go into labor.
If you plan to carry your pregnancy to term and would like free doula support during labor, please fill out this form.

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 .

While we may not be able to hold their hands during their procedures, through comics, drawings, personal essays, games and more we’re tackling some of the tough questions, affirming that people can trust their decisions, modeling how to ask for support, and giving tips on self-advocacy. The Zine also acts as a huge, diverse toolbox that gives some more practical advice and answers FAQs that we often fin

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. We strongly encourage people of color, people with dis/abilities, trans or genderqueer identified folks (especially transfeminine folks), queer-identified folks, people born outside the USA, Spanish speakers, people living with HIV/AIDS, and people of faith to apply. 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
