doula ambassador program
We’re on a mission to elevate the voices of Black and brown birthing folks.
We’d love for you to be a part of it.
Narrative Nation, Inc, a Black woman-owned and led New York City-based non-profit focused on addressing racial disparities in maternal and infant health with innovative media and technology initiatives, has created the National Irth Ambassador Program as an opportunity for doulas and other birth workers working with families to receive professional development support and access to a peer learning community in exchange for assisting in completing Irth reviews and increasing Irth’s capacity to push for birthing justice. Ambassadors will have exclusive access to virtual monthly speaker series, events, networking, and opportunities for healing and joy!
As an Irth Ambassador, your responsibilities will be:
monthly responsibilities

Contact local pediatricians with a sizable Black/brown client base to ask if we can place promo cards (with QR Code), framed signs or be physically present to capture reviews from waiting clients.
Are there large Black/brown churches in your community? If so, can you reach out to learn about their women’s health or parenting ministries, or similar.
