As a Dial-a-Doula volunteer, you can sign up for on-call shifts based on your availability, and gain valuable experience helping women and their families.

​

To volunteer with us, you must attend a DONA International Birth Doula training. You can complete your training anywhere, as long as it is DONA-certified. Our doulas are also processed through the University of Michigan Health System's Volunteer Services.

​

1. Complete a Birth Doula Training (DONA-approved workshops are preferred)
