Doula Career Pathway
The Doula Pathway is designed to empower women, particularly women of color, to enter the vital field of maternal support as certified doulas. This program responds to a steadily increasing demand for doulas while addressing the stark disparities in maternal healthcare.
Maternal mortality in the United States is an alarming issue, with Black women facing a mortality rate that is 3-4x higher than that of white women. Despite the proven benefits of having a doula present during labor and postpartum care, there is a significant underrepresentation of women of color in these roles. By fostering more diverse and inclusive representation in the doula workforce, we can help reduce these disparities and improve maternal health outcomes.
Join Us in Creating Lasting Change
Investing in the Doula Pathway program is more than supporting career development; it’s an investment in maternal health equity, economic justice, and community empowerment. Your support helps create a future where women lead, support each other, and shape the systems that impact their lives.
An Inclusive Opportunity
Our Doula Pathway program is designed to be accessible. Certification is open to participants regardless of their educational background or prior records, offering an equitable path to professional and economic stability. This inclusivity is critical for fostering second chances and building generational change.

Consulting Career Pathway
The Lived Experience Consulting Pathway empowers systems-impacted women by equipping them with essential consulting skills and professional development facilitation expertise. This program connects participants with businesses and organizations seeking consulting services, enabling women to use their unique perspectives to drive meaningful change while earning a sustainable income.
Traditional consulting often overlooks the voices of those directly affected by systemic challenges, leading to solutions that lack true understanding and depth. By training and empowering systems-impacted women to become consultants, we bridge this gap and create pathways for informed, practical solutions that benefit both the organizations and the communities they serve. This approach addresses social and economic disparities while fostering greater inclusion in professional spaces.
An Inclusive, Transformative Opportunity
Our program ensures accessibility by welcoming participants regardless of educational background or past involvement with the justice system. This inclusive approach creates second chances and empowers women to build rewarding, impactful careers. Studies show that employment opportunities for systems-impacted individuals significantly reduce recidivism rates and promote sustained economic security.
Driving Systemic Change
The program’s impact extends beyond job creation. By placing women with lived experience in consulting roles, organizations gain crucial insights into crafting policies and practices that are both equitable and effective. This feedback loop fosters systemic improvements and nurtures a culture of empathy and inclusion
