The mission of the Alaska Native Birthworkers Community is to serve Native birthing families to feel supported, well cared for, and full of the information they need to make confident choices around reproductive health, birthing, and parenthood. As part of this, we offer a volunteer service to birthing parents to be present during birth as additional support.

Pregnant Native families are invited to complete the request form below if they are seeking the support of a doula or labor support companion during labor and birth. Completing this form does not guarantee that we will be able to match you with a volunteer, but we will try our best!

For more information please visit www.nativebirthworkers.org or www.facebook.com/nativebirthworkers. You can email nativebirthworker@gmail.com with any questions.
