Fighting for Reproductive Justice One Birth At A Time

For The Village provides FREE doula services to all families in the San Diego area with an emphasis on marginalized groups – people of color, LBGTQIA, and low-income families.

What We Do


Educate.

For The Village has trained over 60 San Diego community members as Full Spectrum birth workers. We offer classes such as Lactation Education, Childbirth Education, and Postpartum Planning to educate everyone who wants to learn.

Serve.

As Full Spectrum Certified Doulas, we serve the San Diego area, actively practicing being open and aware of the diverse reproductive needs and experiences people have, in light of their identity, background, preferences, and lived experiences. Since opening, we have helped to assist over 300 families!

Advocate.

If we’re not attending a birth or teaching a class, it’s most likely we are advocating for marginalized groups in the San Diego area. We want to support EVERYONE in their birthing journeys with an emphasis on people of color, LGBTQIA, black and brown immigrants, and low income families.
