Community Doula Alliance

Mission

Our mission is to create an exceptional generation of professional doulas, particularly Black, Indigenous, Latine, Asian and other racially and linguistically diverse, underrepresented doulas, who can enter the workforce with sustainable careers, improve maternal and infant health outcomes, and meet the ever-changing needs of birthing and postpartum people.

Bottom Line for Portland

Our vision is to decolonize the birth work profession and eliminate the gap in maternal-infant health disparities and inequities that disproportionately impact Black, Indigenous and Latine communities in the Portland Metro Area.
