In response to the feedback from our community, and their needs as parents and doulas, we're offering a childcare training that will equip participants with basic childcare skills. Stay tuned for a community list of young people available for babysitting, who have competed our training!

We are equally excited and amazed that we've come to the end of our first doula program training! Join us as we celebrate our first cohort of doulas and how far our program has come!
We've been brainstorming on ways to capture the value and depth of our programming and had the recommendation from a supporter, to live stream one of our ongoing meetings. The meeting was productive and covered a lot of information regarding postpartum and the transition to parenthood. Check it out on our facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/thehatchcommunity/
And speaking on Facebook- follow us for posts about community happenings, birth and parenting articles, and of course (our favorite)- sweet pictures of our baby Hatchlings!
We are in the final month of our first doula training program! And as we wind down our pilot and prepare for our future, I wanted to reach out to you to both let you know how things have been going, and to ask you to help support us as we move forward.
Sunday is Mother's Day. What a gift it would be if you would give in honor of your mom- celebrating mothers, the work they do, and the support and opportunity each one deserves.
We have been offered a $15,000 matching grant from the Miranda Lux Foundation. Now we need your help to raise $15,000 to receive this grant, essentially whatever you are able to give is doubled. Please visit our online campaign to donate by clicking on the image below:
