We're Back From Hiatus!!
What can you expect from CVD in 2024?
New and current CVDoulas will join the "100 Doulas Rising" training program for comprehensive Doula education.
The training is a free opportunity for advanced training and skill development.
Though Doulas can specialize in different areas like labor support, postpartum care, and grief support, they will be trained in every facet of reproductive support work.
There will be opportunities for involvement in community initiatives focused on birth and reproductive justice.
Upcoming Initiatives:
We are working to fully establish and begin expansion on the "100 Doulas Rising" training program to onboard a new cohort of Doulas every quarter.
We plan to work harder to enhance community outreach and birth and reproductive justice education.
We are actively strengthening support systems for Black and Brown maternal health.
We will continue to develop and offer diverse training and support options for Doulas.
We will run a campaign to obtain the connection/birth stories, and/or photos of former CVD clients who wish to share.
🌟We're Thrilled to Announce: Chicago Volunteer Doulas is BACK from Hiatus!🌟
After a brief pause, we're excited to share that CVD is back, more energized and committed than ever. We've continued matching clients and doulas for 2024 births, and now, we're eager to welcome new doulas into our fold.
Our Commitment to Empowerment and Education Continues
Our hiatus has only strengthened our resolve to implement our Strategic Plan. We're here to empower and educate, to stand as pillars of knowledge and support for birthing individuals and their families in Chicago.

Your overwhelming support during our end-of-year fundraising has been incredible. Thanks to your generosity, we've raised over half of our $12K Giving Tuesday goal. This funding is pivotal, enabling us to offer DONA certification training to our CVDoulas for free in 2024.
