East Bay Doula Circle Seeks New Facilitator

We are seeking a new facilitator for our monthly meetings. Future meetings will be held at Acorn Wellness Center, Oakland, CA. 

This is a volunteer position coordinating and recruiting speakers of interest to the doula community; hosting monthly, two hour meetings at the Acorn Wellness Center; and maintaining and updating the doula circle list.  Apart from the meetings it should only take about an hour a month of time.  Its a great way to network, and make an impact on the doula community!

Thank you also to Laurel's family for supporting her supporting us, we know she's a busy mother, wife, doula. Thank you!
