Volunteering, cross your fingers for me!
I have applied to two programs that I really want to be accepted into. The first is a volunteer doula program for women and girls who have chosen abortion. This would be a very critical volunteer program that is very much central to what I want my doula work to be all about: full spectrum care for women regardless of what they decide to do with their pregnancies.
The second is a volunteer doula program for the San Francisco General Hospital, where I could provide support for women who are giving birth in the hospital without any other support figures present. This would be an incredible experience for me.
Finally, I’ve joined up with a program that is going to be providing pregnancy support to incarcerated women in jail in San Francisco. This is a brand new program that is just getting started, and I’m attending a meeting on Sunday. So much is happening! :)
