Well-Educated Doulas Create Stronger, Healthier Communities.

There is a need for an expanded & more diverse workforce of Doulas in Nevada. We are creating pathways to support and empower historically underserved communities through accessible education so we can all thrive.

We are committed to educating & empowering Doulas & our community through:

  • We provide monthly professional development opportunities for DOULA CO-OP Community Members by highlighting guest speakers to share their insights to broaden our Doulas’ knowledge and perspectives, while contributing to our collective continuous growth.

  • Our DOULA CO-OP Community Members host a variety of monthly classes, support groups, and workshops available for free to the public - Check out our community events calendar to find out more!

  • One of the benefits of being a DOULA CO-OP member is the opportunity to teach and host support groups in your community on a topic you’re passionate about. To show that we value these offerings, we are committed to compensating our community members’ time and knowledge as instructors. Join our community of doulas dedicated to making a difference!

    Not a member, but want to volunteer your time as a community educator? Please reach out to education@doulacoop.org to let us know you are interested in sharing an offering.

  • Inquire about partnering with us to bring education from doulas to your staff at education@doulacoop.org
